Antonio Fini has published an article in the most recent issue of The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning (IRRODL). The article reports on survey results from the Connectivism and Connective Knowledge (CCK08) course. From the abstract:
Findings from a survey of CCK08 participants show that the course attracted mainly adult, informal learners, who were unconcerned about course completion and who cited a lack of time as the main reason for incompletion. Time constraints, language barriers, and ICT skills affected the participants’ choice of tools; for example, learners favoured the passive, filtered mailing list over interactive but time-consuming discussion forums and blogs.
