This is the ppt which was not very clear in my lecture on YouTube.
Very helpful to students who are looking to venture into MOOCs. Anyone interested may have a look into the pros and cons, platforms associated with it
“For most of the 20th century, lectures provided an efficient way to transfer knowledge, but in an era with a perfect video-delivery platform — one that serves up billions of YouTube views and millions of TED (technology, entertainment, design) Talks — why would anyone waste precious class time on a lecture?,” write Associate Medical School dean, Charles Prober and business professor, Chip Heath, in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been the hottest topic in Higher Education this year. Educating tens of thousands of students in one online course subtends some exciting opportunities but also a raft of pedagogical, logistical, and systemic challenges. This presentation summarises the key issues at stake and outlines a direction forward for Massive Open Online Courses in Higher Education.

Moodle in the World of MOOCs: What Might the Future Look Like?Iain Doherty
This is my keynote presentation for the 2013 iMoot. The presentation covers the role of Moodle - and by extension other Learning Management Systems - in a world of open teaching and learning.
MOOCs in indian context: An Overview provides information about various MOOCs platforms and discusses extensively about Swayam, the Indian MOOC Platform.
The talk analyzes the state of the art in Engineering MOOCs. The modern MOOC movement started in 2011, when the first standard MOOC was launched. In few years, MOOCs have received immense coverage in academia, industry, and media. Students can learn any imaginable subject from the world’s top professors and industry experts.
What is MOOC?
The term “MOOC” (Massive Open Online Course) was coined by David Cormier in 2008 (Cormier & Siemens, 2010) to describe a twelve-week online course, Connectivism and Connected Knowledge, designed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes and offered at the University of Manitoba, Canada, in Fall semester 2008.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are courses provided over the Internet. They are provided free of charge to a large number of people and are accessed by the user logging into a website and signing up. MOOCs differ from traditional university studies, firstly by their open access. As a point of departure, participation merely requires an Internet connection. Secondly, MOOCs are characterized by scalability; the courses are organized so that they can easily be scaled in line with the number of participants.

The New York Times said that 2012 was “the year of the MOOC”
EDUCAUSE said that they have “the potential to alter the relationship between learner and instructor and between academe and the wider community.”
Can a course where the participants and the course materials are distributed across the web and the courses are "open" and offered at no cost to a very large number of participants who do not receive institutional credit be a worthwhile venture for a college?
Everything you need to know about MOCC, well most of the things that you would like to know about MOOC, what it is, how it started, the budget and the future predictions about MOOC. it also shows how important MOOC is, the types of MOOC that you can and at the end of the slides I showed what would my MOOC interest be.
This book is written for educators who want to leverage on the open online courses to better themselves. This book serves as a guide for beginners who wish to explore the various platforms of MOOCs, namely Coursera, iversity, edX, ALISON, Canvas Network, Open Learning, Academic Earth, Future Learn, Peer to Peer University, Saylor.Org, and Udemy. There are two chapters that first introduce to the readers what MOOC is and how MOOC can serve as a medium of learning. Each chapter then starts by simply introducing the name of the MOOC platforms that follows with descriptions of the respective MOOC platforms. Readers will appreciate the inclusion of screenshots to ease their navigation in making the most out of the online resources. It is hoped that this book will provide a resource to advocate for the best possible ways to learn from the open world.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

8. Education , since the advent of Computers and Internet and other add-on services and devices , has
attained new heights of vivid possibilities. Another change induced in the said system is the completion of 3 decades
of Globalisation, Liberalisation and Privatisation, (In India) and these years have brought about an
‘ocean’ of change and is further driving this system at a very rapid pace.
These two events have created a myth that ‘Teachers’ could soon be redundant in the virtual world. It,
however needs to be reinforced that, a teacher will always prevail as the core of the Educational system.
The changed scenario places a responsibility on the Teacher to re-evaluate their personal role and
participation in the system of education.
To sustain in such an ever-changing system each one of us has to ‘Innovate’ modern means and
methods and be available for the Students in particular and for the Society at large.
9. Eight years ago, Time magazine declared 2012 as “the year of the MOOC.” Since
then, many Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) have emerged promising to
provide free or low-cost education to the masses through custom learning
management platforms.
Such abundance makes it difficult for educators who are considering entering into
the realm of MOOCs to decide which provider or platform is best suited to the
needs of their students. While each provider boasts grand claims, it is simply the
case that not all MOOCs are created equal.
Our presentation will examine a few of the most prominent MOOC platforms to
showcase principal features and attributes of each. We will explore how to handle
different MOOCs Additionally, we will highlight the targeted learning style of each
platform to help give potential instructors a sense of which MOOC is optimal for
their course material and pedagogical style.

11. WHAT IS A MOOC?
The term MOOC was coined by Dave
Cormier or Bryan Alexander (Alexander,
2008; Cormier, 2008; Daniel, 2012;
Masters & Qaboos, 2011; G. Siemens,
2012a) to describe a course on
Connectivism (CCK08) organized by
George Siemens and Stephen Downers
in 2008, which attracted 2,200
participants (Downes, 2010).
12.

14. WHAT IS A MOOC?
• Massive
• Student numbers can be 100,000 +
• Open
• Study any course, anywhere at any time
• Online
• As opposed to face-to-face or blended
• Course
• Learning units in an academic subject
15. IS MOOC ….DISTANCE
LEARNING……?
Models of Distance Education
• Distance Education, Distance Learning, Remote Education, Remote
Teaching, E-learning, Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL), Computer-
Based Learning (CBL), Internet (Web)-Based Learning, Online Education,
Virtual Learning Environment, Digital Education, etc. - all this brings
thousands (more or less the same) hits in Google search.
In essence they mean the same - the teacher and pupils are
separated in space and mostly in time, too. However, the models of
distance education are falling into two main categories, namely the
Corresponding Course and the E-Learning Course, respectively.
The difference is the means of knowledge transfer and the management
of courses.
16. CORRESPONDENCE COURSE
.........is the first model applied in distance education. The original correspondence
courses were carried out through the postal service.
Professors would mail assignments and lecture notes to students, who
would return essays and projects for grading. Most colleges and universities offer
correspondence courses and recently they take place over the Internet. Although
the concept is the same: students anywhere can take classes without having to
physically be present at the school.
Students enrolled in university distance learning programs receive their
teaching material and schoolwork by (e)mail and much the same way they mail
back their work to the professors. The instructor would grade the material, then
send on the next assignment. Presently, in India….IGNOU, YCMOU, Test Series(
X n XII)
17. E-LEARNING COURSE
……..is the modern version of the Correspondence Course with the same
benefits and disadvantages. It uses electronic media, information and
communication technologies (ICT) instead of mails. It includes numerous types
of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video, and
includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape,
satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well as local
intranet/extranet and web-based learning. E-learning may either be synchronous
(real time), asynchronous (self-paced) or mixed (blended) learning.
The recent solution for delivery of E-LEARNING COURSES is the LMS
(Learning Management System) or MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses)
platform. They consist of packages for preparation of teaching materials,
conduction of synchronous tests, for live lectures, and discussion forums as well as for
course management. The MOOC is offered mainly free for unlimited number of
students, while the earlier born LMS is restricted in number and usually there is
tution fee.
18. E-LEARNING_MOOC
• Coursera ( www.coursera.com ) is the biggest content provider of education on MOOC
• Udacity ( www.udacity.com ) is a content provider offspring of free computer classes
• edX ( www.edx.org ) is a content and platform provider used by that universities such as Harvard
and MIT
• Udemy ( www.udemy.com )is a content and platform provider specialized for private experts of
anykind to create courses. It as the YouTube of MOOCs.
• SWAYAM ( https://swayam.gov.in ) SWAYAM is a programe initiated by Government of India and
designed to achieve the three cardinal principles of Education Policy viz., access, equity and quality.
The objective of this effort is to take the best teaching learning resources to all, including the most
disadvantaged.

19. WHY OFFER A MOOC?
MOOCs can profile an
institution as a
leading 21st Century
educational
institution.
MOOC
MOOCs may well be a
“game changer” with
respect to how education
is delivered and
consumed and
institutions need to be in
the MOOC space to
experience delivering
education in this way and
to remain current with
educational practices.
MOOCs provide an
opportunity for an
institution to
experiment with
teaching practices
and to engage with
new pedagogical
approaches.
Institutions have a range
of subject areas that are
specific to their region e.g.
Indian
Universities/Colleges and
Institutions (IIT,IISc, IIM)
can showcase these
subjects through offering
MOOC courses.
An institution can
make knowledge
more accessible to
the general public
through offering a
range of MOOCs.

21. It hosts online university-level courses in a wide
range of disciplines to a worldwide student body,
including some courses at no charge. It also conducts
research into learning based on how people use its
platform.
EdX differs from other MOOC providers, such
as Coursera and Udacity, in that it is a nonprofit
organization and runs on the free Open edX open-source
software platform.
The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and Harvard University created edX in May
2012. More than 70 schools, nonprofit organizations, and
corporations offer or plan to offer courses on the edX
website. As of 29 December 2016, edX has around 10
million students taking more than 1,270 courses online
