The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. It seems to be revolutionizing education in USA. But how about Europe? Some teachers are a bit baffled by the concept of a flipped classroom: it looks like more work (making videos) with little benefits. And this is true: In many European countries, teachers are already more or less following the flip approach, so starting to create lecture videos seems a bit superfluous. In this webinar we'll discuss the core principles of a flipped classroom and different ways in which it might practically be achieved, from a European perspective. The webinar is led by researcher Tarmo Toikkanen from Aalto university in Finland. Participants are welcome to tell about their own experiences, share tips and debate.

On the Boulevard Saint-Michel, near the center of Paris, just off the edge of the Jardin du Luxembourg and just a short stroll from the Sorbonne sits the main campus of the École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris. The new, new MOOC Minecraft has become a kind of anarchic massive open online course (MOOC) all on its own, without developing courseware or costly new program licenses. Part of the proliferation is due to user-created video, particularly on YouTube, where a quick search yields 7.5 million mentions. Video podcasts, recordings of building in progress and most importantly, walkthroughs, or videos of players demonstrating how to master levels or particular construction techniques, keep the global Minecraft horde digging and trying to impress or teach one another, forming a key part of the informal player-to-player education that makes the game a fascinating phenomenon to observe.

The best way to understand the great teaching and learning potential of Multi User Virtual Environments (MUVE) is to step in and give it a try! That's why this webinar will be a 'muvinar': the event will be held in 'edMondo' (not 'Edmodo'), the virtual world for education tailored by INDIRE. During the event you will get familiar with the basic functions of edMondo and will be immersed in a real learning experience. It will be an opportunity to get inspired and share ideas for developing learning stories in 3D virtual spaces. The webinar is led by Andrea Benassi, INDIRE, Italy

MOOCs allow students to pursue interests in a non-commital way. However, the format does not provide students with the added benefits of a classroom that help transform interests into passion and knowledge

An interesting perspective on Mooc from a student. He followed a course, and because he is really interested and motivated by the quality of the university. So strong motivation is a key factor for success of these kind of environment.
Another important point is that he felt the content just as a top down flow, and he felt himself connected at all with the teacher.
