Facilitated MOOCs and local support by Alastair Creelman (Linnaeus University)EADTU
This document discusses facilitating MOOCs and local support to help address barriers that some groups face in accessing MOOCs. It suggests that MOOCs favor those who are digitally literate, have strong English skills and academic backgrounds. To help address this, it proposes building local study groups and communities, providing translation and language support, offering supplemental materials like webinars to help with study skills, and enabling regional adaptations of MOOCs through open platforms. This would help open up MOOCs and make them more accessible to broader groups of learners.
Creating communities in MOOCs “Safe bubbles in a sea of openness”LangOER
This document discusses how closed or restricted learning spaces can complement open learning environments like MOOCs. It suggests that while openness is important, too much openness can be confusing and lack control. It proposes that safe, restricted communities could provide peer support, empathy, and privacy to learners. MOOC providers could facilitate support services from third parties, like local study groups, language translation, and for-credit programs, to scaffold the open MOOC experience. The document asks for examples of how closed spaces might complement open learning and how MOOCs could enable third party support services.

This document discusses open education and open courseware (OCW) at KU Leuven. It defines OCW as free online courses that include educational materials like course texts, lectures, study guides and self-tests. The document outlines KU Leuven's OCW pilot project, which makes 5 courses openly available online using a Creative Commons license. It also discusses copyright and licensing issues, noting that Creative Commons licenses provide a standardized way for educators to share content openly while retaining attribution. Overall, the document promotes open sharing of educational resources as beneficial from technical, political, economic and educational perspectives.
This document discusses how social media is changing higher education. It explores flexible and online learning models including MOOCs, open educational resources, and informal learning. Social media allows learning to take place anywhere and anytime through open sharing of knowledge and digital resources on platforms and courses that are free to participate in and often free to use for any purpose. However, questions still remain around the validation and accreditation of skills and knowledge gained through informal learning networks and online platforms.
This document provides an introduction to science communication presented by Miquel Duran at the ComCient1213 conference at Universitat de Girona. It discusses how science communication has evolved with new digital tools and social media, highlighting the importance of sharing knowledge through collaboration and curation online. Various ways for scientists to communicate are outlined, such as through academic publications, general interest publications, outreach activities, and different digital mediums. Challenges around language barriers and digital divides are also noted.
This document summarizes a presentation about how digital content and open licensing can increase access to education. It discusses how copyright traditionally forbid sharing knowledge digitally but how Creative Commons licenses allow open sharing. When content is both digital and openly licensed through Creative Commons, it lowers costs, increases access, and improves quality by allowing free copying, distribution, and editing. Examples of open initiatives like open course libraries and MIT OpenCourseWare are given that aim to reduce costs and improve learning through open sharing of educational resources.
