753 citations recorded by the source corpus.
Self-directed learning on open online networks is now a possibility as communication and resources can be combined to create learning environments. But is it really? There are some challenges that might prevent learners from having a quality learning experience. This paper raises questions on levels of learner autonomy, presence, and critical literacies required in active connectivist learning.

- MOOCs: A systematic study of the published literature 2008-2012 (2013, background): “Many studies that used data generated from MOOCs have limited their qualitative analysis to posting on a formal LMS and a sample of other sources (such as blog posts) due to the volume of data (Kop, 2011; Kop, & Fournier, 2010).”
- A pedagogy of abundance or a pedagogy to support human beings? Participant support on massive open online courses (2011, background): “In support of the learning cycle model, Kop (2011) puts a high value on the creation of a “place” where learners might feel comfortable, where there is a certain level of trust between participants in that environment—a community.”
- Supporting Self-Regulated Learning in Online Learning Environments and MOOCs: A Systematic Review (2018, background): “These tasks can be overwhelming for the unprepared learner in an autonomous learning environment (Kop, 2011).”
- Instructional quality of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) (2015, background): “While some studies examine learners' experiences of MOOCs (for example Fini, 2009; Kop, 2011; Kop & Fournier, 2010; Kop, Fournier, &Mak, 2011; Mackness, Mak, &Williams, 2010; Milligan et al., 2013), these analyses tend to focus on learners' practices of learning and do not survey the instructional d”
