My goal is to create a forum where researchers (established and newcomers) can interact with others to discuss research questions and methods. Established researchers will likely already have some existing research techniques (such as social network analytics, discourse analytics, natural language processing, concept development, AI, and so on). If we’re able to get a dozen or so researchers tackling different aspects of MOOCs and exploring their role in traditional education, we could have a substantial increase in the knowledge base surrounding online courses in general, and MOOCS in particular… We’ve created a Google Group as a starting point. http://groups.google.com/group/mooc_research?pli=1
