MOOCs didn’t come from nowhere
University set up OpenLearn in 2006, representing an ongoing development of the open education movement. Influ
the early development of MOOCs, various open learning platforms have been set up by elite institutions; examples
2012 include MIT edX and OU‟s Futurelearn. A key message that emerges is that the evolution of MOOCs is leadi
more players in the market as HEI and private organisations seek to take advantage of these innovations in online
Figure 1: MOOCs and Open Education Timeline

Education” Li Yuan (CETIS), Stephen Powell (CETIS)

The battle for Open
• Open is not same as free
• Coursera to become elearning
provider
• MOOCs as solution to ‘broken
higher ed’
• Historical narrative excludes
higher ed
The Silicon Valley
narrativeEducation is broken!
We can sell you
MOOCs!
MOOCs are the
answer!
http://brokeneducation.tumblr.com/
Does support matter?
• Completion rates
• Increased digital divide?
• Student support
(Relative costs over 8 year lifecycle of a DL course)
What’s interesting about MOOCs…
How can our curriculum be more flexible?
Can we build more automatic support to help students?
How can we bridge informal to formal learning?
What is my stance on openness?
People are interested in elearning
Are there smaller achievements we can use for motivation?
What technologies can I use?
MOOCs & HE
MOOCs are our friends if we…
– can answer these questions
– don’t ignore them
– don’t panic
– make supported learning worthwhile
– Understand this is a crucial time

Closing thoughts
Image – Giulia Forsythe
MOOCs are the frontline
in the battle for
openness
The battle for openness
is a proxy for the battle
for the future of
education
The worst thing we can
do is ignore it

  • 21. MOOCs didn’t come from nowhere University set up OpenLearn in 2006, representing an ongoing development of the open education movement. Influ the early development of MOOCs, various open learning platforms have been set up by elite institutions; examples 2012 include MIT edX and OU‟s Futurelearn. A key message that emerges is that the evolution of MOOCs is leadi more players in the market as HEI and private organisations seek to take advantage of these innovations in online Figure 1: MOOCs and Open Education Timeline “MOOCs and Open Education: Implications for Higher Education” Li Yuan (CETIS), Stephen Powell (CETIS) March 2013 http://publications.cetis.ac.uk/2013/667

  • 25. Does support matter? • Completion rates • Increased digital divide? • Student support (Relative costs over 8 year lifecycle of a DL course)
  • 26. What’s interesting about MOOCs… How can our curriculum be more flexible? Can we build more automatic support to help students? How can we bridge informal to formal learning? What is my stance on openness? People are interested in elearning Are there smaller achievements we can use for motivation? What technologies can I use?
  • 27. MOOCs & HE MOOCs are our friends if we… – can answer these questions – don’t ignore them – don’t panic – make supported learning worthwhile – Understand this is a crucial time http://www.flickr.com/photos/myeye/2181264107/
  • 28. Closing thoughts Image – Giulia Forsythe MOOCs are the frontline in the battle for openness The battle for openness is a proxy for the battle for the future of education The worst thing we can do is ignore it

Editor's Notes

  1. I’ve called this talk “Surviving the Day of the MOOC” because the sudden interest in MOOCs from outside higher education often feels like an alien invasion
  2. Talk is like an inverted funnel – starts with my personal experience of running a MOOC, then look at some of the broader design issues it raises and finally looking at the bigger issues for higher education
  3. MOOCs were even on Newsnight last night, and you can’t go a week without reading a “MOOCs are the future” type article, so I often feel like this
  4. So I ran an open course, part of our Masters. Subject was open ed, so made sense to run as a MOOC.Ran in our openlearn platform, issues 3 badges,
  5. Mixture of technologyStudents could use own blogging platformEmail turned out to be very important
  6. MOOCs often divided into cMOOCs and xMOOCs but mine had elements of both
