MOOC OOE13 TIES13 Hype higher education

shared by Michael Walker on 24 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • The next generation MOOC (I’ll go ahead and coin ngMOOC now — you’re welcome) will have to employ more of a feedback loop to the student. Understanding the issues with social learning at scale, most progressive MOOC providers are finding ways to utilize graduate students, or simply more advanced students, like Seniors, who have already taken a course, to help push conversation and assessment. By seeding courses with large clusters of “more knowledgeable others” (as Vygotsky would call them), providers theorize they can get at the kind of learning communities desired to make a MOOC work at scale. So, essentially the next generation of MOOC combines the worlds of the xMOOC and the cMOOC, by using computers to do as much simulated instruction and assessment as possible, while making up for communication and community flaws through social construction. Wait, maybe the next generation MOOC should be an “xcMOOC” — you’re welcome again.
  • For instance, as I’ve noted before, a number of schools are working to crack the $10,000 Baccalaureate degree. To do so, it is likely that these schools and programs will need to employ the MOOC concept (whether their solutions need to include “massive” courses is yet to be determined). That means using reusable, self-paced, socially networked courses to free up typical administrative or teaching overhead. That means using more machine learning for grading, adaptivity, and personalization.
  • Are MOOCs over-hyped and dying? I don’t think so.

  • We don’t need a new letter in front of a MOOC. Maybe we just need a new name for a MOOC. You know, something like: eCourse. Because at the end of the day, these massive courses may just be another way that any student can learn at any time.

  • Critical media literacy, in this context is utilized to combat the hegemonic power structures in society by training students to become critical thinkers, thereby transferring power from the hands of the distributers to the hands of the receivers.

  • shifting the educational framework from read, write and react, to create, curate, and contemplate.
  • defining sources and credibility becomes an ongoing and nuanced conversation.

  • Curating content shifts the learning from passive to active
  • participatory spaces enable-archive, annotate, appropriate and recirculate

  • core set of key skills
  • While traditional techniques remain relevant for students today, there is a need to explore pedagogical models that aim to empower critical thinking within the context of digital realities for youth today.
  • play, performance, simulation, appropriation, multitasking, distributed cognition, collective intelligence, judgment, transmedia navigation, networking, and negotiation
  • Organization is no longer simply for daily routines, pastimes or hobbies, but also for news and current affairs.
  • curation as value-added.
  • When the lists are public, the user becomes a de facto expert in showing the value placed on certain sources, organizations, and individuals over others. This type of curation "allows the people formerly known as the audience to create value for one another every day" (Shirky 2010, 17).
  • Curation is an act of problem solving.
  • task of the curator is to organize the information into a story

      present two learners with the same content and they will still know the same thing but in different ways. 
  • What happens when online learning software ceases to be a type of content-consumption tool, where learning is "delivered," and becomes more like a content-authoring tool, where learning is created?”
  • The objective of a theory of learning networks is to describe the manner in which resources and services are organized in order to offer learning opportunities in a network environment.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The message is coded in a common ‘language’ where the code is open, not proprietary. So no particular software or device is needed to receive the code
  • Learning is instead thought of as a part of living,
  • Learning therefore evolves from being a transfer of content and knowledge to the production of content and knowledge.
  • This is a very important point, because it shows that traditional research methodology, and for that matter, traditional methods of testing and evaluation, as employed widely in the field of e-learning, will not be successful
  • Virtually all networks are chaotic systems.
  • science based on modeling and simulation, pattern recognition and interpretation, projection and uncertainty.
  • theory of connectivism, which asserts that knowledge - and therefore the learning of knowledge - is distributive, that is, not located in anygiven place (and therefore not 'transferred' or 'transacted' per se) but rather consists of the network of connections formed from experience and interactions with a knowing community.
