"In 2011, the respective roles of higher education institutions and students worldwide were brought into question by the rise of the massive open online course (MOOC). MOOCs are defined by signature characteristics that include: lectures formatted as short videos combined with formative quizzes; automated assessment and/or peer and self–assessment and an online forum for peer support and discussion. Although not specifically designed to optimise learning, claims have been made that MOOCs are based on sound pedagogical foundations that are at the very least comparable with courses offered by universities in face–to–face mode. To validate this, we examined the literature for empirical evidence substantiating such claims. Although empirical evidence directly related to MOOCs was difficult to find, the evidence suggests that there is no reason to believe that MOOCs are any less effective a learning experience than their face–to–face counterparts. Indeed, in some aspects, they may actually improve learning outcomes." Delete the scoop?

"Great report from the University of Edinburgh on their six 2013 Coursera MOOCs. The report has good data, tries to separate out active learners from window shoppers and not short on surprises. It’s a rich resource and a follow up report is promised. Well done Edinburgh – this is in the true spirit of HE – open, transparent and looking to innovate and improve.Introduction to Philosophy: 98,129Critical Thinking: 75,884E-learning & Digital Cultures: 42,844Equine Nutrition: 23,332
Rather than summarise the report, I’ve plucked out the Top Ten surprises, that point towards the future development of MOOCs:1. Large no of enrolments (309,628)3. Huge subject-sensitive gender range (13-87%)4. Low no. students/ in teaching & education (36.8%)5. Learners from 176 countries (61% outside US/UK)6. Close to zero from China7. Main driver – learning, low interest in certification9. Big range on SoA across courses (4-44%)10. Expectations – met more or completely (77%)" Delete the scoop?

"The ultimate destination is to align education with the requirements of a process-based world. This means we need to invent and agree on a set of clearly prescribed methods that promote inquiry, permeate the learning environment, and become as embedded in education as the current content standards. The move to integrate 21st century skills into the curriculum is a start. But to really advance the cause, the following ideas will need to take root." Delete the scoop?

Mind mapping is a method that works for quite a lot of people. Brain storming, idea mapping, thought generation, think tanks – call it what you will. Traditionally done on large pieces of paper, why not use your iPad to create mind maps? You could use these for your own purposes, or “convert” those large flip charts into a smaller, digital version. Via Baiba Svenca

I have little to add to this other than that the collection of papers provides a distinctive European perspective on MOOCs. As a consequence (?), the focus is more on the pedagogy than on the economics of higher education (@pbsloep) Delete the scoop?

"Students in Chris Haskell’s teacher training classes at Boise State University learn by completing digital “quests.” If an assignment has mistakes, Haskell will return it to the student to correct. If it doesn’t, the student will be rewarded a certain number of “experience points” counting toward the final grade. This is how learning takes place in a quest-based classroom, which Haskell, a clinical assistant professor of educational technology, has helped develop at Boise State. In 2010, Haskell and Lisa Dawley, an educational technology professor, created an online gaming, quest-based learning platform called 3D GameLab, which is now being tested by 560 teachers at secondary schools and higher educational institutions around the world..."

The Smarter Objects system explores a new method for interaction with everyday objects. The system associates a virtual object with every physical object to support an easy means of modifying the interface and the behavior of that physical object as well as its interactions with other "smarter objects". As a user points a smart phone or tablet at a physical object, an augmented reality (AR) application recognizes the object and offers an intuitive graphical interface to program the object's behavior and interactions with other objects. Once reprogrammed, the Smarter Object can then be operated with a simple tangible interface (such as knobs, buttons, etc). As such Smarter Objects combine the adaptability of digital objects with the simple tangible interface of a physical object. We have implemented several Smarter Objects and usage scenarios demonstrating the potential of this approach.

"O sistema de objetos Smarter explora um novo método de interação com objetos do cotidiano. O sistema associa um objeto virtual com cada objeto físico para suportar um meio fácil de modificar a interface eo comportamento do objeto físico, bem como suas interações com outros "objetos inteligentes". Como um usuário aponta um smartphone ou tablet em um objeto físico, uma realidade aumentada (AR) aplicativo reconhece o objeto e oferece uma interface gráfica intuitiva para o programa de comportamento e interações com outros objetos do objeto. Uma vez reprogramada, o Smarter objeto pode ser operado com uma interface tangível simples (como maçanetas, botões, etc.) Como tal, os mais inteligentes objetos combinar a capacidade de adaptação dos objetos digitais com interface tangível simples de um objeto físico. Nós implementamos vários objetos inteligentes e cenários de uso, demonstrando o potencial desta abordagem." Delete the scoop?
