The MOOC that I choose was related to the topic of Historical studies 2A that I have done last year, so it was simple for me to understand the content of all six modules in my MOOC. The civil war documentary which was posted on one of the module was not new to me, so it gave me the advantage. The answering with understand and expressing ones perspective on reflection of which was one skill that I learned from Professional studies

REFERENCES (slide 39)

5. 1. Authentic activities have real-world relevance
2. Authentic activities provide the opportunity for
students to examine the task from different
perspectives, using a variety of resources
3. Authentic activities provide the opportunity to
reflect
4. Authentic activities are seamlessly integrated
with assessment
5. Authentic activities can be integrated and
applied across different subject areas and lead
beyond domain-specific outcomes

6. Authentic activity was used in the quiz form
whereby there was a quiz about impeachment of
Andrew Jonson the former USA president. In
relation to the real world situation, the current
president Zuma of republic of South Africa was
also accused Nkandla project.

7. The videos and readings from each module were
used to meet the demand of each learner. For
example in the MOOC the video was used to
explain part of the content and also the readings
was used.

8. There was reflection questions on each module in
the MOOC.

9. The quiz were used as part of assessment in
the aid to check understanding of participate in
every particular module of the MOOC.

10. The questioning strategy of using multiple choice
as it require understand of the full content based
on a particular subject. In my case as history is
concerned the quiz served as multiple choice
whereby I had to read text or watch videos later
answer the quiz. For reference the next slide.

11. 1. By using Authentic activities comprise complex
tasks to be investigated by students over a
sustained period of time

12. In this type of activity, give a task whereby it will
need research on the history of e.g the
impeachment of Andrew Johnson. The task
should be submitted over a certain period.

13. 1. Collaboration : 0%
2. Knowledge-building : 100%
3. The use of ICT for learning: 100%
4. Self-regulation: 100%
5. Real-world problem-solving and innovation:
90%

14. Collaboration means to work together whereby
we engage in discussion, solve a problem and
Create a product as well as sharing responsibility
for the outcome. Hence we conclude that no
collaboration in the MOOC.

15. In terms of knowledge building, this seen when
students go extra mile of knowledge and make
reproduction generate ideas and understandings
that are new to them. For example, in the MOOC
the word impeachment was said to be used 1st on
Andrew Johnson but as for a learner I had to
evaluate the statement and make meaning out of
it as comparing with my South African politics.

16. ICT for learning means to learn via onlines for
instance to complete activities on a given task
online. As MOOC is concerned, itself is an online
learning tool whereby I had to complete activities
in modules as well as reflections

17. Self regulation means being able to master your
own learning, make meaning of new concepts
and link with real world situation. Well its clear
that I was determined to master my own learning
as I manage to complete quizs in MOOC and
made relation to the concept of impeachment by
comparing with South African politics

18. Although problem-solving tasks require student to
investigate the factors of the problem to guide
their approach, the MOOC itself offered
information of American politics but further
reference were needed to gain knowledge and
relate with other countries.

20. 1. Topic
2. Motivation for doing this particular MOOC
3. The positive on the MOOC
4. The negative on the MOOC
5. What can be done differently on the MOOC
6. Used skills on the MOOC
7. Plan to teach in the future with MOOC
experience

22. The MOOC is basically based on the civil war in United
State of America during the 19 century which therefore led
to the birth of union of United State of America. So during
the 19 century civil war in America shaped the modern
politics because the civil war led to the birth of America and
from that civil war, America emerged as global power
house in economics and politics and today American
politics have much influence in worldwide politics. For
example, the democracy which is being practiced in
America is regarded as the best, with the reason that they
have spread their democratic ideology with many countries
that they are associated with. Furthermore understanding
American history led us to understand modern politics.

23. The video clip was used to explain the content in each
module, so the videos are the source. In each six module
on the MOOC there is a quiz to complete, but before
completing the quiz, there are some readings which one
must first go through and after completing the readings, the
quiz can be attempted, the opportunity to attempt the quiz
are unlimited therefore it give one the opportunity to try it
many times. In addition trying to attempt the quiz many
times helps in understanding the content. In all six modules
that one is to complete, there are readings and videos so
after reading the readings it does show that one have
completed the reading. See examples on the slides

26. The videos which were used in other modules
takes too long in playing and explaining the part
of the content. So basically the video did not
made it simple for the reader to understand the
content. See example on the next slide

28. The opportunity that were given in attempting the
quiz were unlimited, therefore one can attempt
them many times without reading the readings of
each modules because those question repeat in
every attempt that one can take, so it gives one
the opportunity to score good marks without going
through the readings and the videos. See
example on the next slide

30. The certificate which one get after completing the
course does not have the name of the
participates. So how would the person know that
the certificate belongs to me therefore is very
difficult for me to use the certificate to my career
CV. See example on the next slide

32. Since history is much based in source which relate
to timeline of years, the questions would be based
on essay type, which demand the answers from
the readings exactly as they are, so the essay type
question will foster one to study the readings
before attempting them considering the answers
that are needed are from those readings. The
would be no video but audio clips of each module
that would play at least sixty seconds in explaining
the main aim of each module’s content.

33. The MOOC that I choose was related to the topic
of Historical studies 2A that I have done last year,
so it was simple for me to understand the content
of all six modules in my MOOC. The civil war
documentary which was posted on one of the
module was not new to me, so it gave me the
advantage. The answering with understand and
expressing ones perspective on reflection of
which was one skill that I learned from
Professional studies.

35. In every MOOC grade are used to measure the
performance of the participate therefore is very
much vital to make use of the grade when doing
your MOOC in order to set the standard and to
see whether you have achieve the requirement of
the modules.

37. To apply the teaching strategy of learner Centered
whereby learners are to given the video to watch
then answer the question by reflecting on the
video, so basically the video will create a better
understanding and because some of the learners
are visual learners so this tool will help me when it
comes to learners that are visual learners. To use
case studies, in order to engage every learner
and therefore promote group work. See the
examples on the two next slides
