Self-Efficacy as a Function of Experience

Krashen's Natural Theory for second language acquisition
This is how I see my participation in CoPs and MOOCs. I need time to lower my affective filter to build confidence to find a springboard, which will take me to the centre

Thoughts on: Success

Although the content of the MOOC was truly inspiring, success for me experiencing the participating in a cMOOC itself. I did and thus it was successful

Thoughts on: Experience

This was the second MOOC I completed (out of about 4). I've taken more MOOCs since then as a result of my good experience here. I consider myself tech-savvy, so I don't know how others may have reacted who are not as tech savvy as I.

It was on me to be more effective, I couldn't manage to organize myself and participate even at the lowest levels. Yet, this is another thing I learnt about participating at MOOCs (self regulation!)
