How we can use MOOCs in firm’s corporate universities
# Idea (Optional Descriptive Note)
1 accredit student by a job guaranty
2 accredit the world-wide workgroup done
3 adapt the momentum of the training to the student constraints (time vs. delay vs. knowledge assessment)
4 analyze a standard courses roster of an enterprise
5 analyze current standardization ex : Open Course Ware, P2PU
6 analyze interoperability IT technology (Prodml, ISO….) to create information flow between different
system
7 Analyze platform like second life etc…
8 as you will free the school real-estate, use the rental fees to fund your project
9 Be a partner of he OCW platform SlideWiki addresses these issues through a crowd-sourcing approach.

19 create professional network between each ecosystem
20 create spin off by domains
21 create virtual master & apprentice dual team Formation en alternance, compagnonage virtual
22 create virtual technology campus
23 define clearly the domain : I.e. Welding with virtual practice should look like flight simulator
24 define new value for school ranking and accreditation base on openness, network role and result
25 define the value added by each stakeholder
26 design a global platform and fan-out the content to local platform saving of telecom cost
27 design a platform with job exchange market place 1 job guaranty if I follow the adapted curriculum
28 design course as simple at open a book
29 design short MOOE to reduce time to employment
30 design special rooms inside the enterprise for providers and consumers and promote remote learning
31 design the content of the MOOE with real project ( more junior enterprise)
32 design the course to add flexibility during the training with miles stones and no due time to be in the
experience (batch & queue flow production of training vs. One training at a time)33 design the knowledge transfer as a game ; you will travel catching awards level by level
34 design the training to give understandable the content to non-native language people
35 develop the MooE in Open Source mode in direct link with the Open Software Foundation
36 draw a template of what I have in mind
37 enterprise as a sponsor of a curriculum analogy with AVIVA Stadium and professional Sports team
38 find the simplest software platform (Scorm, Moodle, MSO boxes, OCW tools ….)
39 give awards to the people already retired if they store on the platform their memories
40 give real-time assessment and knowledge gap analysis to the student
41 give the availability to build course with video, quiz etc

After Works…
I am very pleased with the way the course was delivered.
I reassured my approach to strategic innovation
I learned that we could build and motivate a virtual team to
develop an opportunity in two days and killed an innovative idea
with six major constraints in less time
I would have liked to do more exercises on the topics of week 8:
Leading an Innovation Strategy in Your Organization
I will include this knowledge in my classes and in the
implementation of the strategic innovation within my company
