Moocology: Three carriage train

Three carriage train

This model is about leading change. I first saw it here in a video by Ray Nasher and I've adapted it to suit my own purpose and context.

Do a simple survey of the target group:

We should switch to fixed width for our default font.

  Agree
  Not bothered
  Disagree

DISAGREE - NOT BOTHERED - AGREE - LOCOMOTIVE

Make the Agrees visible to the rest
Work on the Not bothereds, they'll easily join the Agrees
With the Not bothered wagon empty the Disagrees will get nervous and
Shift up the train to join the Agrees.

MOOCology

MOOCology is the study of MOOCs, and its main method is participant observation. You sign up for and participate in Massive Open Online Courses not so much to study the subject, as to study the method. Along the way you get to meet a superabundance of interesting people and you get to learn a lot of fascinating stuff. But the real value for me is in observing the way the new metier seems to question, transcend, bypass, nullify, disarm and maybe eventually even destroy the institution. Are we seeing a paradigm shift, or simply another technology-driven fad? Interesting - I wrote this in 2012. Now in 2020 I'd say paradigm shift, but it's a very slow burn.
