9. MOOCs

10. How it contrast traditional university online
courses,
 MOOCs have two key features
 1. Open access - anyone can participate in an online course for free
 2. Scalability - courses are designed to support an indefinite number of
participants

11. The development of MOOCs
MOOCs
 is rooted within the ideals of
openness in education,
 that knowledge should be shared
freely,
 and the desire to learn should be
met without demographic,
economic, and geographical
constraints

12. BENEFITS FROM MOOCs
 The ‘digital footprint’ of learners using the technology
 can expand access to education, for those who are interested
 provides opportunities for expanding access to HE to all and creates a space
for
 experimentation with online teaching and learning

13. What motivates the MOOC learner?
 • To support lifelong learning or gain an understanding of the subject matter,
with no particular expectations for completion or achievement,
 • For fun, entertainment, social experience and intellectual stimulation,
 • Convenience, often in conjunction with barriers to traditional education
options,
 • To experience or explore online education.
 Surveys conducted by researchers at Duke University show that student motivations
typically fell into one of four categories (Belanger andThornton, 2013)

14. MY FIELD OF INTEREST
• My field of interest is Psychology because one of the good days I
will be an educational psychologist
• What I admire about educational psychologist is that they learn
processes of understand individual differences in behaviour,
personality, intellect, and self- concept.
• Educational Psychologists are working side by side with
psychiatrists, social workers, teachers, speech and language
therapists, and counsellors in order to understand the questions
being raised when combining behavioural, cognitive, and social
psychology in the classroom setting
