UPV[X] Forum dynamics

 The data for 3 editions is similar
 Demography is similar to the one of big MOOC
platforms
 Mostly people between 20 and 45 with
university background
 People like the way of learning
 The ones who finish are very happy with the
courses
112
MOOC Final conclusions on surveys

 Most of people abandon because of lack of
time
 Sending emails is useful for engagement
 We have to enhace communication in Latin
America
 Most people say their motivation is to learn,
but when they finish they ask for the certificate
 Most clients use Windows with Chrome
11
MOOC Final conclusions on surveys (2)

114
Why MOOC/ Open Access?
 We can experiment to incorporate new
technologies to on-campus teaching
 Digital reputation around the world an in news
media
 Huge showcase to show what we do
 We are a public University
 They could be a source of income throught
certification

 Polimedia technology and Docencia en Red experience has
let us develop MOOC courses fast.
 Google Course Builder is a good platform but some issues:
 Authoring interface
 Emailing
 Assessment security
 Student interface usability
 Google App Engine is cheap, easy and robust
 The neutral format gives us a lot of flexibility
 The ways of recognizing the teacher work have to be
worked on
 There is interest in paid academic online certification
11
MOOC final conclusions

116
Future
 OpenEdx platform opensourced by edX
 Powerful and with an international community around
 We are now migrating to it
 Installing it in own servers is complicated
 Mooc.org, Google, edX partnership ¿?
 We made a pilot paid certification on premises exam with
“Tecnologías Educativas” course. There were 80
interested in total (of 212 who completed the course), 25 in
Valencia. 12 took the exam
 We are going to make an online certification paid pilot
exam with the same course. More than 150 interested
