"there is no live teacher engagement... Currently, just 10 percent of MOOC registrants complete their courses. Where Will MOOCs Be Just Two Years From Now? Within the next two years, MOOCs will quickly evolve from lacking teacher engagement to having a lot of teacher engagement. Right now, it's essentially a model where computers are teaching students. This model is simply not sustainable in the long run without live student-teacher engagement. Teachers are the key that unlocks learning in these courses. They help students resolve issues and problems. Will the biggest change in online education moving forward be putting live teachers at the center of the MOOC (not just on video)? We will know the answer very soon."

MOOC on Storytelling

Se trata del último número de la revista eLearning Papers, Nº 33, que atiende -a mi juicio- el sobredimensionado tema de los cursos abiertos, masivos y en línea (MOOC). Además de las grandes cifras, el relumbrón tecnológico, las grandes marcas, el papel de la lógica de la oferta y la demanda en este modelo formativo, o la publicidad encarnizada de instituciones por vender lo abierto como plus institucional, existe también una línea de reflexión e investigación emergente que debe ser atendida por muchas disciplinas, incluida la pedagogía. Por ello la importancia de este número, donde parece ser que se está ensayando una lectura más exigente sobre la realidad y el futuro de los MOOC.
