DALMOOC emphasizes on Connections (learners) and Creation (Artifacts) and not much on content. It aims to build upon Networked knowledge and Combinatorial Creativity. It encourages users to own their learning space, so that the knowledge does not perish in discussion forums, comments etc.
The contents and conversations can be distributed in various environments:
Twitter and social media
In normal teaching environment, the content flow is from the instructor to the student; whereas in DALMOOC, the core content is co-created by faculty, learners and external experts.
