Welcome to Massive: The Future of Learning Week 1

For the first three weeks of the course, we'll be exploring three genres of large scale learning: MOOCs, intelligent tutors, and interest-driven learning communities. In the second three weeks of the course, we'll explore three problems that emerge repeatedly across the genres, I call them the Paradox of Free, the Paradox of Routine, and the Paradox of the Familiar. Each of these are design challenges that emerge from the efforts to create large scale online learning environments.
