Organizing a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) - 4 views

  • Typically, a MOOC begins by setting up a simple registration website put together by your facilitators
  • Offering a MOOC is like putting on Woodstock. It will probably be chaotic, unruly, produce totally unexpected outcomes
  • Everyone is part participant and part presenter

  • If your company is looking for ways to expand its client base and position itself as a thought leader, consider hosting a MOOC.
  • For our purposes, consider a MOOC to be a free, open-ended, online course involving potentially thousands of participants using all kinds of social tools like websites, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, discussion forums — you name it — to discuss and learn about a topic from every angle and generate a body of knowledge that all can share.
  • I usually ask clients what they can give away for free that will increase their brand recognition or status. A MOOC is a great example.
  • the necessary ingredients for a MOOC: Knowledge or the opposite of knowledge: a question to which you don’t have an answer, but that you’d like to have answered. People to serve as facilitators. A digital infrastructure.
  • Hosting a MOOC doesn’t require: A large budget for staff. The mandate to measure ROI. A significant input of time, since participants take much of the lead. Physical space, since MOOCs take place in the virtual world.

    Not just for ed or other training, relevant to local development, PR, marketing, branding, etc.

The Ed Techie: Give me an M! - 8 views

  • Open courses don’t need to be massive,
    • Paige Cuffe
       
      YES! Some things have to be discussed in a group, not a series of 'like-minded' sub-groups.
  • one of the potential benefits of MOOCs is a form of liberation of the curriculum
  • support

  • what might be interesting is the combination of MOOCs with local, face to face support.
  • we’re coming back to educator constructed courses.

      This is what addresses the 'learner frustration'!!! Come to learn from others because I can't get there from OERs alone... I am seeking expert guidance.

A Language Learning MOOC #EFL #ESL « A Point of Contact - 4 views

  • One important aspect of such a context is that often non-Western, and thus non-English speaking cultures do not have as much or the same experience with Distance Learning and Autonomous Learning. A MOOC structure seems to assume a certain level of familiarity with both, so this is one reason why more activity and guidance are a must in an LMOOC.

      This is an important point that also should be emphasized more in the current Change11 MOOC, and also in the future with any other MOOCs if other kinds of students are going to participate.  In talking about education in other parts of the world, such as we have already hearing Zoraini Wati-Abas speak, we have to first understand the difference in structure or approach in that country.  OUM and the SMS strategy are more interesting when placed in the context of a country that has never seen such widespread distance learning before.  From my time spent in China, I think distance education would work well and be very appealing for many young people, but it may not be adopted for its inherent openness and difficulty to control.

  • Building rhizome-like learning networks can foster an environment more conducive to continuous knowledge acquisition and constructio
  • This does not match the way our brain process information, as we are better at learning incremental chunks of knowledge in a meaningful and authentic context.
  • Dave Cormie
  • Clark Quinn’s idea of slow learning
  • Here Jon Dron reminds us that tools themselves are not technology
  • Dron’s definitions of hard vs soft technologies relevant to both formal and informal learning, further help us to undertand that soft technologies are perhaps more useful in building learning and support communities and equipping learners with the ability to  navigate information in networks, thereby promoting lifelong learning.
  • The learners will end up leading the way, as they should.
