On August 13, as part of a collaborative exercise in Hybrid Pedagogy’s MOOC MOOC, nearly 500 participants worked together in seven separate documents to create essays about MOOCs.

We’ve included a short Storify at the end of the complete piece below, including links to all the Google Docs in which the essays were written.
