George Siemens, who leads Athabasca University’s Technology Enhanced Knowledge Research Institute, makes the case for why colleges should experiment with inviting tens of thousands of students to participate in their courses free online. Since the Tech Therapy team conducted the interview last year, the model has caught on with many well-known universities.

This is an audio resource, at 6 min he references "learner self organisation".. learners creating sub-networks via social media, key message being that the learner takes control of the method and process of which they learn. There is reference to connectivism philosophies at 8 min as a way of addressing learner support minimising tutor facilitation. Discussion continues confronting the why do we need a brick and mortar uni then idea... at 10:30 George saya that higher ed is exploring what it might look like in the future - fair call see where the hype takes us, needs to be tried and tested :)
