This document discusses MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). It defines a MOOC as an online course with unlimited participation and open access via the web, including videos, readings, problem sets, and interactive forums. MOOCs allow students to obtain degrees and certificates completely online at their own pace without tracking attendance. There are different types of MOOCs including network-based, content-based, and task-based. MOOCs promote collaborative online learning and interaction. Over 1000 people register for MOOCs each year to save time while pursuing other courses simultaneously. The presenter would enroll in a content-based MOOC due to its basic video and material format with automated testing and prescribed curriculum.

3. WHAT IS A MOOC?
• A MOOC IS A MASSIVE ONLINE COURSE AIMED AT UNLIMITED PARTICIPATION AND
OPEN ACCESS VIA THE WEB. IN ADDITION TO TRADITIONAL COURSE MATERIALS
SUCH AS VIDEOS, READINGS, AND PROBLEM SETS, MOOCS PROVIDE INTERACTIVE
USER FORUM THAT HELP BUILD A COMMUNITY FOR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, AND
TEACHING ASSISTANTS (TAS). MOOCS ARE A RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN DISTANCE
EDUCATION.
• IT IS A MODEL OF DELIVERINGLEARNING CONTENT ONLINE TO ANY PERSON WHO
WANTS TO TAKE A COURSE, WITH NO LIMIT ON ATTENDANCE
• ALTHOUGH EARLY MOOCS OFTEN EMPHASIZED OPEN ACCESS FEATURES, SUCH
AS CONNECTIVISM AND OPEN LICENSING OF CONTENT, STRUCTURE, AND
LEARNING GOALS, TO PROMOTE THE REUSE AND REMIXING OF RESOURCES,
SOME NOTABLE NEWER MOOCS USE CLOSED LICENSES FOR THEIR COURSE
MATERIALS, WHILE MAINTAINING FREE ACCESS FOR STUDENTS

4. WHAT IS A MOOC CONTINUATION…
• THE MOOC COURSE IS TAKEN COMPLETELY ONLINE.
• IT IS A PLACE WHERE ONE CAN OBTAIN A BACHELORS DEGREE, DIPLOMA.
MASTERS, OR HONORS ONLINE.
• ON MOOC THERE IS NO RECORD OF ATTENDANCE A PERSON CAN COMPLETE
THE COURSE WHILE DOING ANOTHER COURSE SINCE IT IS ONLINE AND CAN
BE DONE ANYWHERE WHERE A PERSON HAS AN ACCESS TO THE INTERNET.

7. WHAT MOOC PROMOTES
• MOOC PROMOTES COLLABORATIVE LEARNING ONLINE WHERE YOU WILL BE
ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THE WEB AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE ENROLLING
ON THE SAME MOOC
• IT ALLOWS A PERSON TO ENROLL IN A COURSE AND COMPLETE IT AT A GIVEN
TIME BUT DOES NOT MONITOR ATTENDANCE A PERSON CAN DO IT ANYTIME.

8. PERCENTAGE OF MOOC STUDENTS
• MORE THAN 1000 PEOPLE GET
REGISTERED IN A YEAR TO ENROLL
IN MOOC COURSES
• IT IS EFFECTIVE AND SAVES TIME
WERE ONE CAN ENROLL WHILE
DOING ANOTHER COURSE

9. TYPE OF MOOC THAT I WOULD LIKE TO
ENROLL IN
I WOULD LIKE TO ENROLL IN CONTENT
BASED MOOC BECAUSE:
THE COURSE DESIGN IS BASIC –
SIMPLY VIDEOS PLACED ONLINE, OR
MORE INVOLVED – COURSE MATERIAL,
AUTOMATED TESTING, PRESCRIBED
CURRICULA, WITH FORUMS FOR
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND
VOLUNTEER TEACHING ASSISTANTS.

10. TYPE OF MOOC TO ENROL IN CONTI…
MOOC THAT I LOOK FORWAD
TO ENROL IN!
•
I CHOOSE THE CONTED BASED MOOC BECAUSE ITS
PEDAGOGY IS INSTRUCTIONS, POSSIBLY TRANSMISSION
TEACHING.
•
I WOULD ALSO CONSIDER ENROLING IN A NERTWORK BASED
MOOC BECAUSE
•
THE PEDAGOGICAL THEORY IS CONNECTIVISM. KNOWLEDGE
RESIDES IN, AND AS CREATED AS A FUNCTION OF THE
CONVERSATION, AND CONNECTIONS THAT PARTICIPANTS
FORGE, AND THE PERSONAL LEARNING NETWORKS THEY
CREATE. KNOWLEDGE IS SHARED, CREATED BY COMMON
GOALS, TASKS, ENDEAVOURS AND CONVERSATIONS, AND
THERE TENDS TO BE A FOCUS ON MAKING LEARNING VISIBLE,
AND SHARING – VIE E-PORTFOLIOS, BLOGS, REFLECTIVE
POSTS, CONNECTION ON TWITTER, POSTING TO SHARED
FORUMS. THE FOCUS IS LESS ON WHAT IS KNOWN, AND
MORE ON CAPACITY TO CONNECT WITH LEARNING.
