May is MOOC Month (and so is June) - An Overview MOOCs - those Massive Open Online Courses that deliver learning content online - are the focus of several upcoming Techniques in Learning and Teaching posts.

"April 3, 2013, 12:43 pm By Karen Head ...The preparation of a MOOC, unlike that of a traditional course, requires working with videographers, instructional designers, IT specialists, and platform specialists. For many MOOCs this means that an instructor and a teaching assistant must fill most of those support roles. In fact, one of my colleagues who taught a MOOC actually built a recording studio in the basement of his home. Even with our team of 19, we still needed several other people to provide support. We now also have an internal project manager to coordinate our videography needs. I'm very thankful to have these people helping us. ..."

What encourages students to do well in school? Often, it comes down to grades. Many students will work harder in order to earn a higher grade. Colleges want to see good grades. Parents want to see good grades. Grades are good, right? Of course they are, but the grades should not be the only goal. Learning for the sake of it should be a goal, including what they learned, how long they remembered it, and how they applied it to new situations.

Raccolta di ottime lezioni adatte alla scuola dell'obbligo USA (K-12). Gratuito. Sovvenzionato dalla fondazione Melinda e Bill Gates... e hanno ragione. Ottimo per CLIL, ma c'è anche tutta una serie di video sulla grammatica inglese (seguiti da attività interattive interessanti)

The debate around Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is much more focused on the social, institutional, technological and economical aspects than on the need for development of new pedagogical approaches that provide consistent guidance on how to design for this emergent educational scenario.

E' solo un inizio...conto di arricchirla man mano che trovo altri strumenti...dal tuo PIN relativo all'OER intanto prelevo alcuni link...spero non ti dispiaccia...

"...Have you dealt with a systemic tech failure in a course? How did you manage it so students didn't suffer? Please share in the comments below."

"Recent headlines around a high-profile settlement between the US Department of Justice and edX, Inc., one of the largest and earliest distributors of MOOCs, have once again highlighted the importance of understanding the rules for making online courses and services accessible to those with various types and levels of disabilities. While much of the media coverage of the edX settlement has focused on the fact that the government sued so high-profile-and respected-an online provider, to date there has been little recognition that the enforcement action may signal an effort to extend the ADA's accessibility requirements not only to a broader range of non-institutional entities providing web-based instruction, but also to those that provide other education-related services."

"Colleges and universities, left and right, are launching Massive open online courses (MOOC). Colleges failing to follow are "behind the times". Do not be fooled by how savvy MOOC advocates sound. They do not understand what they are doing. Let us start with how they do not even understand what a MOOC is, or should be. MOOCs are supposed to be open platforms. It is right there in the name. Downes' original MOOCs were indeed open. Yet the actual MOOCs that colleges publish are closed platforms, as per Wikipedia's definition: ..."

"August 5, 2012 by Tony Bates TED Talks: Daphne Koller: What we're learning from online education Daphne Koller, one of the two founders of Coursera, describes some of the key features of the Coursera MOOCs, and the lessons she has learned to date about teaching and learning from these courses. The video is well worth watching, just for this. However I'm probably going to suffer the same kind of fate of the Russian female punk band, Pussy Riot, by spitting on the altar of MOOCs, but this TED talk captures for me all that is both right and wrong about the MOOCs being promoted by the elite US universities. Let me start by saying that I actually applaud Daphne Koller and her colleagues for developing massive open online MOOCs. Any attempt to make the knowledge of some of the world's leading experts available to anyone free of charge is an excellent endeavour. If only it stopped there. What I object to is the hubris and misleading claims that are evident in this TED video. As someone once said about one of Sigmund Freud's lectures, what is new is not true, and what is true is not new."

Importante analisi fatta da uno specialista dell'insegnamento a distanza, tutto all'inizio di Coursera

"MOOC.Well, what's that? The word MOOC is an acronym. I should at least say once what it stands for: Massive Online Open Course. That was the easy part, just to give you those words. Now to give a definition, that's going to be very challenging.For every one of those words, I think it's fair to say that there is a generally accepted understanding of what the word means, but then there is a substantial number of people who challenge that understanding, who try to push it further....

"Where is the normal Coursera Interface? Philippe Faucon · 3 days ago · In "Faut-il avoir peur? L'emballement des médias autour d'Ebola - Claudine Burton-Jeangros" This course seems totally broken and unpractical. I am really interested in the topic, this is why I have been trying to follow it until now, but candidly I am reaching my limit."
