  • University of the People, a tuition-free online institution that enrolled its first class of students in 2009.
  • UoPeople students pay an application fee of between $10 and $50 and must have a high-school diploma and be proficient in English. There are also small fees for grading final exams. Otherwise, it's free.
  • UoPeople relies heavily on peer-to-peer learning that takes place within a highly structured curriculum developed in part by volunteers
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Rather than deploy the most sophisticated and expensive technology, UoPeople keeps it simple—everything happens asynchronously, in text only. As long as students can connect their laptops or mobile devices to a telecommunications network, somewhere, they can study and learn. For most of humanity, this is the only viable way to get access to higher education. When the university polled students about why they had enrolled, the top answer was, "What other choice do I have?"
  • The scale of the global population lacking access to higher education is gargantuan—Reshef puts it at 100 million people worldwide. It's outlandish to think that they'll get it through the construction of American-style colleges and universities—the most expensive model of higher education known to humankind, and getting more so every year. Low-cost, online higher-education tools are the future for most people
  • Undergraduates at the University of California at Berkeley can minor in global poverty, but Berkeley isn't using newly available online-learning tools to actually reduce global poverty by helping impoverished students earn college degrees.
  • Most elite American colleges are content to spend their vast resources on gilding their palaces of exclusivity. They worry that extending their reach might dilute their brand. Perhaps it might. Righteousness is easy; generosity is hard

    Good MOOC's, in their view, foreground and sustain the social dimension of learning and active practices, i.e., knowledge production rather than knowledge consumption. To a limited extent, certain experiments in MOOC's that foreground social media participation over "content mastery" realize some of the ideals of Siemen and Downes.

    This is not one of my regular posts about a review of a web2.0 tool that you used to read in my blog . This is web2.0 itself under spotlight. Today as I was navigating the web collecting resources about Digital Ethnography , a topic I am working on now, I came across this great video entitled web2.0….The Machine is Us/ing Us .

MOOCs connectivism

    The shock is that the methods used by these hugely successful courses are little changed from the dark ages. If you think I'm being a critical outsider, then you might like to know that one of the leading lights in the movement, Peter Norvig, agrees with me. He even makes a joke in his recent Ted Talk  that lectures in MOOCs are just like the 16th century monastic lecture theaters complete with the guy at the back sleeping! khamon- probably an accurate assessment of non-connectivist MOOCs, the kind I do not attend.
