A MOOC is a massive open online course that is available for free to anyone with an Internet connection. There are two main types of MOOCs: xMOOCs, which are typically offered by universities in partnership with for-profit organizations and focus on recorded expert lectures, and cMOOCs, which emphasize connecting learners and are built on platforms envisioning social connectivity. MOOCs first emerged in 2008 from a course on connectivism and connective knowledge that had 25 tuition-paying students but was also taken online for free by over 2,300 others.

The course was created in collaboration between the universities and focused on world-class e-learning content.
EEE Project Meeting, June 2014
This document discusses various types of open online courses including MOOCs, SPOCs, NOOCs, DOCCs, and more. It notes that while MOOCs are seen as the future of education, they still need to figure out effective pedagogical models and business models. The document then provides context on the history of distance education and compares different generations. It also shares perspectives on guided vs self-guided learning and scenarios for open higher education in 2030. Design patterns for MOOCs are presented including using external platforms to supplement limitations of MOOC platforms. The role of flexibility in MOOC design is discussed.
Open Innovation in Action
The document discusses the history and evolution of open source software development over the past 30 years. It outlines three phases: FOSS 0.1 from 1983-1990 where Richard Stallman founded the free software movement and projects were small; FOSS 0.9 from 1991-1998 where larger projects emerged using new tools for distributed development; and FOSS 2.0 from 2008 to present where tools like Git, GitHub, and StackOverflow further enabled large, distributed, and social development practices. The document argues that open source pioneered many aspects of social business and innovation.
Seven teaching and learning scenarios with MOOCs
The document discusses implementing online teaching in lectures. It recommends deciding which lecture parts to include in an online course, recording those parts professionally for learning videos, and explaining the new online concept to students. The implementation phase involves discovering different teaching scenarios for online courses and developing a personal didactic concept.
MOOCs, Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Pedagogical Agents
Open courses are a sociocultural phenomenon. This phenomenon represents symptoms, responses, and failures facing Higher Education. In this talk, I examined open courses and MOOCs from a variety of angles and discussed the degree to which MOOCs have portrayed education as a product that can be packaged, automated, and delivered. Empirical research on the design and development of pedagogical and intelligent agents that may be used in MOOCs was also presented.

"Cultural localisation of open badges - insights from the German community”
Cultural localisation is the process of adapting the linguistic and cultural content of a design for a specific local culture. The aim of this talk is to explore cultural localisation of open badges from two perspectives. The first perspective is the cultural localisation of skills with the help of open badges. The second perspective is the cultural localisation of open badges as a system itself. My talk will include insights from a German qualification project for migrant academics, in which badges have been applied to enhance employability, as well as insights from the process of building an open badges community in German-speaking countries. My intention is to develop a framework for cultural localisation of open badges and I would like to discuss some considerations for such a framework.

What is mooc
A MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) integrates social networking, an expert facilitator, and freely accessible online resources to build active engagement among hundreds to thousands of self-organizing students. While MOOCs may have predefined timelines and topics like traditional courses, they generally have no fees, prerequisites, participation expectations, or formal accreditation. Word of a MOOC spreads through social networks, and students engage and share ideas using digital tools rather than completing formal assignments. MOOCs aim to provide free university-level education to many, lower education costs, and encourage open online learning.

What is MOOC?
The term “MOOC” (Massive Open Online Course) was coined by David Cormier in 2008 (Cormier & Siemens, 2010) to describe a twelve-week online course, Connectivism and Connected Knowledge, designed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes and offered at the University of Manitoba, Canada, in Fall semester 2008.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are courses provided over the Internet. They are provided free of charge to a large number of people and are accessed by the user logging into a website and signing up. MOOCs differ from traditional university studies, firstly by their open access. As a point of departure, participation merely requires an Internet connection. Secondly, MOOCs are characterized by scalability; the courses are organized so that they can easily be scaled in line with the number of participants.
Moo cs
This document discusses the history of distance education and the rise of MOOCs. It describes the three main forms of distance learning: correspondence study, multimedia learning, and computer-mediated learning. It then explains the differences between c-MOOCs and x-MOOCs. C-MOOCs are based on connectivism and connective knowledge, using digital platforms for networking. X-MOOCs are typically offered by universities in partnership with non-profits, relying on expert recorded content. The document concludes by stating that while MOOCs have received attention, there are still issues to work through regarding their use.
Rise of the MOOC generation!
This document discusses Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and which MOOC the author plans to use. It defines a MOOC as an online course that allows unlimited participation over the web and helps create an open learning community. The author argues that their university's U-Link system is a precursor to a MOOC by delivering course content online. The specific MOOC the author will use is An Introduction to Operations Management from Coursera.
Making ICT Career Accessible: Leveraging MOOC to Upskill
The document discusses different types of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) such as xMOOC, cMOOC, DOCC, and SMOC. It also provides strategies for leveraging MOOCs to upskill including setting goals, developing a study plan, practicing lessons, and teaching others. Major MOOC providers are also outlined including Coursera, Udemy, Udacity, EdX, FutureLearn, and The Open University.
MOOC as part of organization's learning and development strategy
MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses that are open to anyone in the world and aim to reach a large number of learners using technology platforms. They offer many benefits like being open to anyone, available anywhere, and allowing learners to learn at their own pace. Organizations can leverage MOOCs as part of their learning and development strategies by using them to quickly meet initial learning needs, reduce costs compared to traditional training, and allow employees flexible 24/7 access to learning. Incorporating MOOCs can boost interest through social discussion platforms and ensure participation through formal assignment and examination requirements.

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.

The early MOOCs from 2012 suffered from low retention rates, with over half of students never viewing the first lecture. Since then, online learning has evolved into a more interactive and skills-focused experience (dubbed "online learning 3.0"). These new courses are offered by corporate training platforms and focus on tangible job skills. They utilize mobile delivery, games, quizzes and analytics. Many course providers have also moved from higher education into the corporate training market. The term "MOOC" now refers less to a method of instruction and more to the initial concept of massive open online learning.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

- 5. xMOOC Appear to have developed out of the idea of Open Courseware and Open Educational Resources. The "X" in X-MOOC doesn't stand for anything specifically. But X-MOOCs are typically offered by a university in partnership with a for profit organization. "X" standing for "Expert" because most of these MOOCs are taught by relying on recorded experts at well known universities
- 6. cMOOC The term C-MOOC refers to a MOOC designed to emphasize connecting learners. C-MOOCs are built upon the idea and platform originally envisioned C-MOOC stands for Connectives MOOC.
- 7. The term MOOC was coined in 2008 by Dave Cormier at the University of Prince Edward Island and Bryan Alexander of the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education in response to an open online course designed and led by George Siemens at Athabasca University and Stephen Downes at The National Research Council (Canada). The 2008 course was called "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge" and was presented to 25 tuition fee-paying students in Extended Education at the University of Manitoba in addition to 2,300 other students from the general public who took the online class free of charge.
