Productivity and online learning redux - 2 views

  • Instructional MOOCs (xMOOCs) have basically removed learner support, at least in terms of human (instructor) support, but this has resulted in a very low number of MOOC learners passing end-of-course assessments of learning. Indeed, prior research into credit-based learning has established that instructor online ‘presence’ is a critical factor in retaining students. So far, it has proved difficult to scale up learner support on a massive scale, except through the use of computer technology, such as automated feedback. However, Carey and Trick (2013) and indeed faculty at elite institutions who are offering xMOOCs (see Thrun and ‘the Magic of the Campus‘) have argued that such computer support does not support ‘the learning that matters most’.
  • computer-based approaches to learner support to date has been inadequate for formal assessment of higher order learning skills such as original, critical or strategic thinking, evaluation of strategies or alternative explanations.
  • In cMOOCs that are more like communities of practice and thus contain many participants with already high levels of expertise, that expertise and judgement can be provided by the participants themselves

  • Thus knowledge management becomes more important than mere access to knowledge. If we look at xMOOCs though we have taken a new technology – video lecture capture and Internet transmission – and applied it to an outdated model of teaching. True innovation requires a change of process or method as well as a change of technology.
  • .Content is only one component of teaching (and an increasingly less important component); other components such as learner support and assessment are even more important. Care is needed then because changes in methods of online content development and delivery could have negative knock-on cost and productivity consequences in other areas of course delivery, such as learner support and assessment.

    " Home About Contact info e-portfolio Extracurricular Philosophy Resume Discovering "Community" Media in Archive.org Archive.org, or the Internet Archive, has functioned as a digital library of all media types on the Internet since 1996. Available material has been free to the public, with some exceptions, since its start and it has served as a library for Open Educational Resources way before the term "OER" ever existed. The archive also existed before Creative Commons but began to gain in popularity as the Creative Commons licenses were first released in 2002. Because of the interest in using OERs and the stipulations of a Creative Commons license, the Archive has organized its content by containing Creative Commons licensed material all in one place."
