There are two main types of MOOCs: xMOOCs and cMOOCs. xMOOCs follow a more behaviorist approach using video presentations and automated testing to check student understanding. They focus on concise video content and getting students to apply knowledge. cMOOCs are based on connectivist learning theory and emphasize connected, collaborative learning through discussion forums and peer interaction to discuss ideas and questions.
MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. MOOCs are free online courses designed for large numbers of participants and open access via the internet. They provide interactive user content like videos and readings to build an online learning community. While MOOCs increase access to education, they can lack direct feedback which some students need. Additionally, without self-discipline, students may struggle to complete MOOC courses. MOOCs are intended for university-level learners rather than primary or secondary students.
MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. The document discusses the definition of a MOOC, the types which include connectivist and instructivist approaches, and the historical background including the first MOOC in 2008. MOOC course categories can range from subjects like chemistry to humanities to technology. Course lengths vary from 1 week to 52 weeks, with estimated student effort being 1-20 hours per week. The author's main field of interest in MOOCs is project management basics.
This document provides an overview of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). It defines a MOOC as an online course with unlimited participation and open access via the web. The history of MOOCs began with George Siemens' theory of connectivism in the early 2000s. There are two main types of MOOCs - cMOOCs (connectivist MOOCs) which are based on connecting learners through social media, and xMOOCs which are sponsored by universities and focus more on video lectures. The document also lists some fields of interest for potential MOOC topics such as human reproduction, genetics, and environmental studies.
This document discusses Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It begins by defining MOOCs as a form of distance education conducted primarily online. The document then traces the history and origins of MOOCs in 2008. It outlines two types of MOOCs: cMOOCs, based on connectivism and collaboration; and xMOOCs, based on formal course structures from platforms like Coursera and edX. The document also covers advantages like wide accessibility and interaction, and disadvantages like the ease of dropping out. It concludes by noting the growth of MOOCs in subject areas and partnerships between universities and companies.

It defines MOOCs as free online courses designed for large numbers of students that may provide academic credits, certification or further study opportunities. The document outlines different types of MOOCs, including cMOOCs which emphasize social constructivism and xMOOCs which are based on interactive media and assessments. It also discusses the author's interest in an emergency management MOOC to prepare for epileptic situations.
The document discusses wikis and their use for online collaborative learning. Wikis allow multiple authors to add, edit, and remove content from a website. They are well-suited for collaboration as they can be edited using only a web browser. Wikis are effective for group assignments as students can collaboratively work on and edit a document over time. The document provides examples of student groups using wikis for coursework and assessments and discusses benefits like monitoring participation and progress.
MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) are online courses that are aimed at unlimited participation through the web. They provide interaction and community for students, professors, and teaching assistants. MOOCs cover a single topic, are open for anyone to take, are massive by connecting people on a global scale, and are online with no charge for students. MOOCs have different purposes, such as democratizing education, developing skills, increasing access to higher education, and decreasing costs. The first MOOC was introduced in 2008 and was called "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge." MOOCs have advantages like being free, allowing informal learning, and providing online interaction, but also have disadvantages like technical problems,

This document provides an overview of connectivist MOOCs (cMOOCs) based on lessons learned from running cMOOCs. It defines key concepts like open learning, connectivism, and cMOOCs. Some key points made are: cMOOCs are based on connectivist principles where learning is a process of connecting information sources and diversity of opinions; they require nurturing connections to facilitate continual learning; and assessing learning in cMOOCs can be challenging given their open and connection-based nature. The document shares lessons learned from running previous cMOOCs on needing critical mass of participation and exploring new tools like ePortfolios for assessment.
A MOOC (massively open online course) is an online course with unlimited participation and open access via the web. MOOCs are hosted on sites like wikis and blogs and allow for asynchronous learning. Course interactions occur through online venues like blogs and tweets. MOOCs alter the relationship between learners and instructors and between academia and the wider community. While MOOCs increase accessibility and collaboration, they may cause challenges for student assessment and faculty roles. As the model evolves, expectations and methods may become more standardized and predictable.
This document summarizes a study on the use of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for professional development among master's students at the University of Costa Rica and the University of Kansas.

MOOCs, DOCCs, or POOCs? The Current and Future State of Open Online CoursesSuzan Koseoglu
Presentation at Teaching and Learning Innovation Centre (TaLIC) Lunchtime Conversations - Goldsmiths, University of London
There has been much heated debate on the educational potential of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). In this talk Suzan will critically examine the current hype around MOOCs by drawing from recent literature and by exploring different types of MOOCs and the future of open online courses.
The document discusses the use of social software in an online Masters in Structural Biology course. It finds that blogs, wikis, and instant messengers enhanced students' learning by allowing interaction. While technologies like Second Life could illustrate concepts, not all students had access. The course also found value in a dedicated chatroom and that pedagogy should drive technology choice over sophistication. Student participation was higher for passive over active engagement online.
A MOOC is a massive open online course that is run by many universities worldwide. Participants can engage with course material without completing assignments. The material is distributed across the web rather than in one central location. MOOCs can be used for standalone study of a subject or to supplement a course taken elsewhere. They offer flexibility and bring students from around the world together, but participants cannot earn credits and have high dropout rates due to simplified material and lack of interaction with professors.
This document provides an overview of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It discusses what MOOCs are, including their history beginning in 2004, how they work by reducing instructor contact and relying on self-organized study groups, and different types of MOOCs. The document also outlines the pros and cons of MOOCs, major MOOC platforms, and how MOOCs may change education by allowing free, accessible learning worldwide.
Reflecting on the Diverse Innovations and Impacts prompted by an OER projectBeck Pitt
The project aimed to provide open educational resources (OER) to help adults transition successfully to college in the US. Follow up research interviewed students, administrators, and educators and found that the OER led some institutions like the University of Maryland University College to pursue lower-cost course materials. However, educators in different contexts found the content did not always align with their needs and audiences. OER were found to have different usage patterns than other online resources and can help bridge formal education, though content must be appropriate for the target learners and contexts.
This is a short Power Point presentation to explain how teacher generated Weblogs can solve several problems faced by the teacher in the English classroom.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free online courses that can be taken by anyone from anywhere. They were first created in 2008 by George Siemens and Stephen Downes as "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge." In 2012, Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig from Stanford University offered their artificial intelligence course online, attracting many students. There are two main types of MOOCs - cMOOCs focus on connectivity and contributions from participants, while xMOOCs have structured content from universities or companies. The author is most interested in cMOOCs so they can create their own biology blog and share knowledge with other learners.

1. MOOCs are seen as the third digital revolution in higher education, following e-learning in the early 2000s and open educational resources in 2007.
2. As with previous digital innovations, MOOCs have led to debates around quality as they relate to technological changes, shifts in teaching and learning culture, and questions of quality assurance and innovation strategies.
3. There are many open questions around how to define and measure quality in MOOCs, including what criteria and metrics should be used and whether factors like course size, completion rates, or learner experiences are appropriate measures.
Milking the MOOCs: Blending it Right for Meaningful Flipped LearningKee-Man Chuah
The document discusses blending MOOC content into traditional face-to-face courses to create a flipped learning model. It proposes using MOOC videos and activities as pre-class assignments to activate prior knowledge on upcoming topics. In-class time is spent discussing pre-class materials and engaging students in purposeful activities from MOOCs, with lecturing limited to 30% of class time. Post-class assessments from MOOCs are assigned to further student understanding. Blending MOOC content in this strategic way can maximize learning and engagement compared to traditional lecture-based courses.
This document discusses new technology-leveraged models of education including MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), edupunks, and virtual badges. It begins by directing the reader to watch videos explaining these concepts and consider how they may impact higher education. It then provides information on MOOCs, including their history, potential benefits and limitations. It discusses business models that institutions may use with MOOCs. It also covers edupunks and do-it-yourself credentials as well as virtual badges and how they represent skills. Finally, it proposes a structure for an institution to apply these new learning models by focusing on access, quality, innovation, and completion.
This document provides an overview of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It discusses the history and origins of MOOCs, tracing them back to 2004. It outlines two main types of MOOCs - cMOOCs which emphasize openness, connections, and collaboration, and xMOOCs which have a more formal structure. The document also examines the pros and cons of MOOCs, noting that they provide free or low-cost access to courses but can lack real-world engagement. It concludes by stating that the presenter is interested in life sciences MOOCs that allow sharing ideas between peers and experts.
MOOC Tales & Trends discusses the definition and history of MOOCs, including various MOOC platforms, trends in the number of learners and characteristics of typical MOOC learners. It also summarizes research on MOOCs and discusses strategies for European universities engaging with MOOCs, including DCU's ventures into MOOC development. Key challenges and opportunities discussed include ensuring quality, facilitating language learning through MOOCs, and integrating social aspects into the MOOC experience.
This document discusses MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and the role of libraries in supporting them. It defines MOOCs as online courses that are open to unlimited participation for free via the web. While early MOOCs emphasized open licensing of content, later MOOCs rely more on closed licenses and commercial platforms. The document outlines opportunities and challenges for libraries in relation to MOOCs, such as providing resources to faculty, addressing copyright issues, and reaching new audiences. However, it also notes limitations of MOOCs like lack of accreditation, assessment challenges, and limited student-teacher interaction.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. They provide interactive forums and communities for students, professors, and TAs. MOOCs have developed out of distance education and allow anyone with internet access to take online courses for free. They provide opportunities for learning, teaching creativity, and connecting a global community of scholars. However, MOOCs also present challenges around student interaction, assessment, and accommodating different learning styles.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses that provide unlimited participation and open access via the web. They include filmed lectures, readings, problem sets, and interactive forums. The term MOOC was coined in 2008 for the first such course called "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge". Since then, enrollment has grown from 2,200 to thousands. There are two main types - connectivist MOOCs focus on collaboration, while xMOOCs from universities like Coursera and edX provide content, activities, and community. The author's field of interest is population geography, specifically how population changes influence global patterns. Their proposed MOOC topic would examine how population growth affects the world and

[CoLearn12] Вебинар 2. Новые грамотностиIvan Travkin
Очевидно, что новая культура учебной деятельности требует от ее носителей знания новой грамоты. Западные коллеги считают, что в пору говорить уже не об одной грамоте, а о нескольких грамотностях, которые постепенно развиваются из ключевых навыков 21 века. Что это за грамотности и почему они в первую очередь важны для нас, преподавателей и учителей — об этом наш разговор в рамках данной темы.
В рамках этой темы мы поговорим о том, как всемирная сеть и ее развитие сказываются на культуре учебной деятельности. Какие изменения происходят с последней по мере того, как всякое учебное взаимодействие в той или иной степени становится опосредованным сетевыми технологиями? Что при этом происходит с обучающей деятельностью, и какие формы она приобретет?
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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

«Our main findings are that shorter videos are
much more engaging, that informal talking-
head videos are more engaging, that Khan-style
tablet drawings are more engaging, that even
high-quality pre-recorded classroom lectures
might not make for engaging online videos, and
that students engage differently with lecture
and tutorial videos.»

«An automatic preference for synchronous
(usually audiovisual) interaction with students is
often a “mistake”. (...)When we learn online, we
are not together in one room, and we need to
recognize not only the limitations of that, but
the openness of its possibilities. (...)The
strengths of online learning, especially in
massive courses such as MOOCs, and especially
for adult learners, might lie in their
asynchronous interactive components.»
