Professor Alejandro Armellini gave a presentation on whether Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are pedagogically innovative. He had education professionals involved in MOOCs complete a survey, with 15.1% saying MOOCs are innovative and 84.9% saying they are not. Those who said they are innovative failed to define or justify how they meet innovation criteria. Those who said they are not innovative argued that MOOCs are traditional, content-centric, lack quality assurance, and over-hyped with low completion rates. However, Armellini concluded that while there is less innovation than claimed, pedagogic innovation is not required for excellent teaching.
