Half an Hour: The Rise of MOOCs

Half an Hour: The Rise of MOOCs | Connectivism | Scoop.it

What makes the MOOC offered by George Siemens and myself different was that it was a distributed course. This is what enabled the 'massive' part of 'Massive Open Online Course'. The software developed to support the course - called gRSShopper, written by myself - was designed to enable the use of open educational resources (OERs) and to aggregate student contributions nwritten using their own weblog environment (and later, discussion boards, Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, and more).

Half an Hour: Education as Platform: The MOOC Experience and what we can do to make it better

Half an Hour: Education as Platform: The MOOC Experience and what we can do to make it better | Connectivism | Scoop.it

What this talk is about - it's called "Education as Platform" - is the idea of exploring some of the experiences we've had with massive open online learning, and exploring some of the criticisms that we've experienced, some of the criticisms that we've seen, and trying to understand what elements of the design are working and what elements of the design are not working, and to use this understanding to try to advance our perspective on the way online learning is proceeding and should proceed.

Half an Hour: What a MOOC Does

Half an Hour: What a MOOC Does | Connectivism | Scoop.it

To what extent do MOOCs really change the nature of the game, and to what extent are they more an extension and development of what has gone before – and hence should aim to incorporate previous best practices? Or will that destroy them?
