Career[edit]
Cormier has contributed to rhizomatic learning,[6][7][8][9] the development of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs),[10] open education,[11] and the impact of the internet and digital tools in education (e.g., abundance, uncertainty,[12] and more recently, Artificial Intelligence[13][14]).
As a learning specialist, Cormier has been involved in many OER projects including the multi-institutional Liberated Learners project,[15][16] which won an Open Education Award for Excellence from OEGlobal in 2022.[17] He has also been featured as a keynote speaker at multiple conferences (e.g., [18][19][20][21]).
As someone who had been involved with online learning for two decades, Cormier was also influential when the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a quick shift to online learning in early 2020,[22] developing resources,[23] creating a series of videos,[24] offering webinars,[25] and keynoting at relevant conferences.[26] His earlier work on rhizomatic learning also influenced other scholars and educators as the pandemic continued, its lasting impact on education was being made clear.[27]
