Interesting. I think when something new comes along that takes our attention to do it—like being digital or being modern—then we have to foreground it and name it. You did that with MOOCs, but after it no longer demands our attention to do it, then we become confused about what to do with the name that no longer needs to be used because everyone just does it. We are talking to Grandpa—sometimes f2f, sometimes on the phone, sometimes Skype—but mostly we are just talking to Grandpa. That core activity returns to the foreground, and the medium resolves into the background noise.

So are we post-MOOC, just taking courses—sometimes f2f, sometimes hybrid, sometimes on the Net—but mostly just pursuing a course and a practice? Seems so.
