This paper reports on research into the use of blogs and forums as communication and learning tools in the Connectivism and Connective Knowledge (CCK08) MOOC, conducted from September to December 2008. The course was notable for its large scale, open nature, and integrated network of blogs, which encouraged extensive online interactions. Through surveys and email interviews, the study identified three main interaction preferences among participants: blogging, using forums, and combining both. Blogging was linked to personal learning spaces and reflective practices, while forums supported fast-paced, idea-sharing interactions. The research highlights the evolving use of media in online learning, with participants developing personal learning networks and using blogs and forums in innovative ways.
