I don’t know if George Siemens actually meant the applause (or if this was a slow-clap, ironic, gesture).

Personally I wouldn’t applaud him. Did he show some gaps in the system? Sure, I guess, maybe? I’ve been “grading” final submissions for that MOOC and all I can say is that I don’t think the message came across. The people who knew about the gaps just got proof of them, and those who did not are still blissfully unaware. I copied some responses from the final assignment that I plan to use as a blog post in the following days.
