  • But focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOOC is misguided. The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.

MOOC course design pitfalls

shared by Patrice Prusko on 04 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • Reading your course material on a computer screen does not make for a memorable learning experience
  • Start by thinking about the kinds of learning experiences you want to create rather than letting the CMS define a more limited view of putting your course online.
  • In the old model of education, the instructor stood on the podium and served as the students’ revered and primary access point to the desired knowledge. Today, your students may be Googling your lecture topic while you speak and finding three sources that update or improve upon your presentation.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • content curato
  • . Your course should be a place where students come to participate in the connections that can be made between your subject and the outside world. Build these bridges into your online course materials, and become a facilitator of these important connections.
  • The interactivity and interconnectedness of computers provides increased opportunity for students to actively participate in their learning rather than passively consuming what you feed them.
  • peppering your online content with quick test-your-comprehension questions or developing exercises that ask students to generate data, capture and upload photos of evidence, research connections to real-world conditions, or create explanatory slideshows.
  • t. Consider creating wiki spaces in which groups of students can work together. Include assignments that require students to share ideas and resources, present topics to each other, and critique each other’s work. Use online communication tools and collaborative spaces to foster a class-wide web of supportive contact rather than settling into multiple parallel channels between you and each student.

  • including them in my Accredible portfolio provides additional (and non-typical) evidence demonstrating that I have taken and understood material in a course enough to reflect on what I’ve learned. 
  • So each of my slates includes material designed to demonstrate that I’ve completed a class successfully from start to finish.
  • With regard to structure and arrangement, a portfolio must fulfill a goal and tell a story – ideally in a consistent manner so that readers will know where to find things as they move from course to course
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • a portfolio should primarily focus on a student’s own work with generic course information just used to demonstrate the depth and robustness of a class.

  • interesting problems for students to solve,
  • keep students engaged, and they rarely present more than five minutes of video lecture before offering a quiz or programming exercise.
  • "It's a very different medium from sitting in a traditional lecture hall."

  • cryptography
  • students who are challenged to define a function that will produce a given output given a specified input, and they can each come up with their own solutions, which may be substantially different. As long as they all give their function the same name, the course software can still grade their work by passing it a series pre-defined test cases.

    Within the rapidly expanding field of educational technology, learners and educators must confront a seemingly overwhelming selection of tools designed to deliver and facilitate both online and blended learning. Many of these tools assume that learning is configured and delivered in closed contexts, through learning management systems (LMS).
