timokos's curator insight, July 8, 2013 5:45 AM

on the different pedagogies of c-MOOCs and those of Udacity, Coursera & edX.

 

"Let me end with my own pedagogical recommendations for MOOC’s:

Be as open as possible. Go beyond open enrollments and use open pedagogies that leverage the entire web not just the specific content in the MOOC platform. As part of your open pedagogy strategy use OER and openly license your resources using Creative Commons licenses in a way that allows reuse, revision, remix, and redistribution. Make your MOOC platform open source software. Publish the learning analytics data you collect as open data using a CC0 license.Use tried and proven modern online learning pedagogies not campus classroom-based didactic learning pedagogies which we know are ill-suited to online learning.Use peer-to-peer pedagogies over self study. We know this improves learning outcomes. The cost of enabling a network of peers is the same as that of networking content – essentially zero.Use social learning including blogs, chat, discussion forums, wikis, and group assignments.Leverage massive participation – have all students contribute something that adds to or improves the course overall."

MOOCs Change Playing Field in Higher Education

MOOCs Change Playing Field in Higher Education | Connectivism | Scoop.it
The rapid spread of massive open online courses, or MOOCs, is transforming higher education in the U.S. and worldwide.
Pieter de Vries's curator insight, July 8, 2013 10:28 AM

This sounds like a business assumption one tends to believe in not to loose faith. At least the media coverage make you believe that something is going on, but how to sell this to the majority of teachers? We need some straight forward examples of the goodies that come with this evaluation.
