How to Transition Your Traditional Classroom to the Web - 1 views

  •  
    "Online learning is making headway-not just in traditional colleges, but in high schools as well. If you've been asked to transition your traditional classes to an online format, you may be unsure of where to start. Online learning is vastly different from the traditional classroom in a lot of ways. But there are also ways in which it's unexpectedly similar. Here are a few tips for taking your classroom online."

Can You Really Teach a MOOC in a Refugee Camp? - The Chronicle of Higher Education 2014... - 0 views

  •  
    "Can You Really Teach a MOOC in a Refugee Camp? - Wired Campus - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education August 1, 2014 by Steve Kolowich Two men living in Dadaab, a refugee camp in Kenya, would watch lecture videos and take online quizzes at a nearby United Nations compound. (InZone) One narrative that has driven widespread interest in free online courses known as MOOCs is that they can help educate the world. But critics like to emphasize that the courses mostly draw students who already hold traditional degrees. So when Coursera, the largest provider of MOOCs, published a blog post about how a professor had used one of its online courses to teach refugees near the Kenya-Somalia border, it sounded to some like a satire of Silicon Valley's naïve techno-optimism: Hundreds of thousands of devastated Africans stranded in a war zone? MOOCs to the rescue! Details of the experiment paint a more nuanced picture, one that highlights the challenges MOOC providers face in trying to change the lives of downtrodden people. Barbara Moser-Mercer, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Geneva, ran the refugee experiment and wrote Coursera's optimistic blog post about it. But in an interview with The Chronicle, as well as a more formal article she wrote about the experiment for a European conference on MOOCs, the professor expanded on the logistical issues that come with trying to make sophisticated online courses work in deprived settings."

Big Brother Awards: Mitten im Leben von Schnüfflern umgeben | heise online - 0 views

  •  
    "Datenschutz beim MOOC Die Technische Universität wie die Ludwig Maximilian Universität in München gehen mit der Zeit und bieten ihren Studenten Online-Kurse an. Dabei setzen sie auf die kalifornische Online-Plattform Coursera, nach eigenen Angaben mit 140 angeschlossenen Universitäten der größte Anbieter von Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). Coursera sorgte für Schlagzeilen, als der Schweizer Professor Paul-Olivier Dehaye von Coursera wissen wollte, über welche Datensätze Coursera von seinem Kurs und von seinen dort eingeschriebenen Studenten verfügt und was mit diesen Daten gemacht wird. Coursera weigerte sich und geriet darob in Streit mit Dehaye wie mit seiner eigenen Universität (Zürich). Auch in Deutschland gab es Aufregung um Coursera, als die Datenschützerin Marit Hansen die Datenschutzregeln von Coursera kritisierte. Schließlich werden nicht nur die Kurse, sondern auch die Studenten-Daten in den USA gespeichert und ausgewertet. In den Augen der Big Brother Jury ist dabei nicht nur das Verhalten von Coursera fragwürdig, sondern das der Universitäten, die auf Coursera setzen. Es sei schlimm genug, wenn Bildung zum Wirtschaftsgut verkomme und ein US-Anbieter womöglich zum Bestandteil des Pflichtstudiums samt Scheinwerwerb werde. "Falls es keine geeignete europäische Plattform für das Angebot von MOOC gibt, wäre es eine Sache der Unis, eine solche Plattform aufzubauen," wird die Preisvergabe an die Münchener Universitäten in der Kategorie Bildung begründet."

    Fueling their enthusiasm is the explosion of massive open online courses, or MOOCs, the new species of free classes prestigious universities are offering to students around the world. As educators debate what the classes mean for the future of traditional universities, one thing is clear - they provide a vast laboratory to study learning, using a trail of electronic data to examine what resources or study habits best help students, whether they take courses online or in traditional classrooms.

'A MOOC? What's a MOOC?' Now You Can Look It Up - The Chronicle of Higher Education - S... - 1 views

  •  
    ""A mook? What's a mook?" asks "Johnny Boy" Civello, the fast-talking gambling debtor in Martin Scorsese's 1973 film Mean Streets. For years, "mook" existed in English as an obscure slang term referring to "a foolish, insignificant, or contemptible person" (as Merriam-Webster's Online defines it). According to one Scorsese biographer, Vincent LoBrutto, the term first appeared in 1930 in the work of S.J. Perelman, the well-known writer and humorist. Since then it has occasionally resurfaced-in Mean Streets, for example; and again, around 2000, to classify an emerging class of poor, angry white kids who listen to rap metal. But that particular monosyllable was rarely at the tip of anyone's tongue. Until recently, that is, when college professors began broadcasting their courses to a worldwide audience. They called their courses "MOOCs," which stands for massive open online courses and is pronounced "mooks." Suddenly, that unfortunate syllable could be heard everywhere: in the news and the blogs, at tech conferences and faculty meetings, in legislative hearings and policy proposals. Now, it has been formally enshrined into the English language. Oxford University Press this week inducted "MOOC" into its Oxford Dictionaries Online. The definition: "A course of study made available over the Internet without charge to a very large number of people.""

A statement on online course content and accessibility | Berkeley News (UC Berkeley, Se... - 0 views

  •  
    " We look forward to continued dialog with the Department of Justice regarding the requirements of the ADA and options for compliance. Yet we do so with the realization that, due to our current financial constraints, we might not be able to continue to provide free public content under the conditions laid out by the Department of Justice to the extent we have in the past. In many cases the requirements proposed by the department would require the university to implement extremely expensive measures to continue to make these resources available to the public for free. We believe that in a time of substantial budget deficits and shrinking state financial support, our first obligation is to use our limited resources to support our enrolled students. Therefore, we must strongly consider the unenviable option of whether to remove content from public access. Please know that we fully intend to exhaust every available option to retain or restore free public availability of online content. It is our hope that we will find an appropriate resolution with the Department of Justice that allows us to serve the extended seeing- and hearing-impaired community and continue to provide free online content."

The concept of openness behind c and x-MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) | Rodriguez ... - 0 views

  •  
    "Abstract The last five years have witnessed a hype about MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) presaging a revolution in higher education. Although all MOOCs have in common their scale and free access, they have already bifurcated in two very distinct types of courses when compared in terms of their underpinning theory, format and structure, known as c-MOOCs and x-MOOCs. The concept of openness behind each of the formats is also very different. Previous studies have shown that c-and x-MOOCs share some common features but that they clearly differ on the learning theory and pedagogical model on which they stand. In this paper we extend earlier findings and concentrate on the concept of "openness" behind each format showing important differences. Keywords Distance Education; Massive Open Online Course; MOOC; Open Course; Open Learning; Openness"

Half an Hour: International Perspective: The MOOC and Campus-Based Learning - 0 views

  •  
    "Summary of a presentation by Phillip D. Long, University of Queensland We want to see the learning design patterns change, we want to see phy6sical participation in the profession, that is, engagement with the content and the practice, in the rich spaces that we have, and let the content engagement, which can be well-designed online, be the place where content is delivered. (Eg. Pictures of classes, eg., composed of 'terraces'). Recently, we tried bringing people together en masse. We took a large space that is a sports facility and turned it into a learning environment, tables of nine, an instructor and two TAs, and engagement simply in terms of 'showing up' is stunning, 85-90 per cent attendance. Our engagement with MOOCs, and we've just started to partner with EdX, is because we are learning how to refactor how learning on campus takes place, to put the effort into learning design into the online context, moving away from these little boxes, and looking at the campus as a series of practice spaces. (SD- Stephen Downes: This is a good model - but one wonders why it would be reserved for tuition-paying students - why not move it out into the community as a whole - you'd get *much* better 'tables of nine')"

Diigo: trucchi per chi sa poco l'inglese - Bloglillon commenti da May 27, 2013 at 2:28 pm - 3 views

    "Luisella May 27, 2013 at 2:28 pm @tutti coloro che sono interessati a tradurre dall'inglese all'italiano e sottotitolare un tutorial di Diigo, che ne dite di questo? [ http://youtu.be/nkrHFM3s8Bc -e mbeddato] Mi sembra un tutorial interessante perché parla in particolare degli Account per insegnanti. Luisella May 27, 2013 at 2:40 pm Anche, questo, che è più generico, non specifico per la scuola, è comunque molto chiaro e interessante: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcecBgRd3ig&eurl=http://blog.diigo.com/ Claude Almansi May 27, 2013 at 5:58 pm Grazie, Luisella, Con il primo - An introduction to Diigo for educators - ho un problema: online, mi si ferma sempre primo della fine, dove parla dell'account educator. L'ho dovuto scaricare per vederlo per intero, quindi ho un po' paura che crei problemi in Amara (l'app di sottotitolazione), dove andrebbe streamata la versione online. È meglio che le cose filino lisce per "principianti". Il secondo - "Social Bookmarking: Making the Web Work for You - è fatto molto bene, però è di 5 anni fa, e ci sono state nuove versioni dell'interfaccia di Diigo nel frattempo. Ciononostante, mi sembra ancora valida su quasi tutto, e basterebbe aggiungere qualcosa sulla data nella pagina Amara. Per ora l'ho soltanto creata: http://www.amara.org/en/videos/EfplCifDOjln/info/social-bookmarking-making-the-web-work-for-you/ . Il modo + semplice di produrre ST italiani è di prima far quelli inglesi, poi di tradurli. Ma vedi tu come preferisci. Se ti può servire, http://piratepad.net/linf12-ST è il pad che avevamo utilizzato per sottotitolare dei video durante linf12 Ciao Claude"

    Ciao Fabrizio Io l'audio lo ottengo per http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkrHFM3s8Bc , però come avevo scritto nei commenti citati, il video mi si ferma prima della fine. Cioè probabilmente c'è un problema tecnico, e per questo avevo suggerito di non utilizzarlo per una sottotitolazione collaborativa online.

SUNY Signals Major Push Toward MOOCs and Other New Educational Models - Wired Campus - ... - 0 views

  •  
    "March 20, 2013, 4:55 am By Steve Kolowich The State University of New York's Board of Trustees on Tuesday endorsed an ambitious vision for how SUNY might use prior-learning assessment, competency-based programs, and massive open online courses to help students finish their degrees in less time, for less money. The plan calls for "new and expanded online programs" that "include options for time-shortened degree completion." In particular, the board proposed a huge expansion the prior-learning assessment programs offered by SUNY's Empire State College. The system will also push its top faculty members to build MOOCs designed so that certain students who do well in the courses might be eligible for SUNY credit. Ultimately, the system wants to add 100,000 enrollments within three years, according to a news release."
