"When campus president Wallace Loh walked into Juan Uriagereka's office last August, he got right to the point. “We need courses for this thing — yesterday!” Uriagereka, associate provost for faculty affairs at the University of Maryland in College Park, knew exactly what his boss meant. Campus administrators around the world had been buzzing for months about massive open online courses, or MOOCs: Internet-based teaching programmes designed to handle thousands of students simultaneously, in part using the tactics of social-networking websites."

Si no tienes trabajo, si terminaste tu grado y/o master... estas opciones pueden interesarte. Ten en cuenta que, en general, en los MOOCs no se certifican los estudios
Alfredo Corell's curator insight,
January 7, 4:02 PM
Aparte de interesantes para personas vinculadas al e-Learning, pueden ser motivadores para personas que han completado grados/másteres y no tienen de momento salidas en el mercado laboral.
La mayoría no dan certificado de estudios, ese es el handicap.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
Articles about how free online courses, or MOOCs, could disrupt higher education dominated the headlines last year here at the Wired Campus blog, and they were the most popular with readers as well. Several articles about e-textbooks also topped our list of most-read articles of 2012, highlighting what has been a time of change, and anxiety, for colleges and universities.

So what is a MOOC? What's the history of MOOCs? How are they growing? What are some significant events in the world of MOOCs?
Alfredo Corell's insight:
By Jeff Dunn
With a public four year in-state degree costing $89,044 on average it’s easy to see why anyone would be looking for alternatives. MOOCs, Massive Open Online Courses, may be the solution. Since the first MOOC in 2008, this phenomenon has been spreading amongst very well accredited colleges. The movement has grown rapidly with over 100 courses already scheduled for 2013.

Latest news, events and thoughts about MOOCs
I present here a compilation of news, thoughts, and movements in the MOOCs field.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
- A main concern is the low level of courses completions (below 10%):
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/17/measuring-the-success-of-online-education , one can consider 20% completion a success: http://technorati.com/technology/article/are-massive-open-online-courses-moocs/
- In the same line, a Coursera's MOOC had 180.000 students, but less than 26.000 are now running: http://www.hackcollege.com/blog/2013/01/22/duke-university-professors-mooc-has-180000-students.html
-On the other hand US universities are thinking to link a first free MOOC with a second official course for credit in the named "MOOC2Grade":
-Competition between Universities is open for the MOOC market, New international alliances are growing: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/01/22/foreign-universities-consider-how-best-enter-mooc-market
-Thoughts about knowledge transmition from a MOOC pioner professor (Scott E. Page): http://at.blogs.wm.edu/thoughts-from-a-mooc-pioneer/

The company, Coursera, plans to announce on Wednesday the start of a pilot project to check the identities of its students and offer “verified certificates” of completion, for a fee. A key part of that validation process will involve what Coursera officials call “keystroke biometrics”—analyzing each user’s pattern and rhythm of typing to serve as a kind of fingerprint.

Providers of free online courses are officially in the headhunting business, bringing in revenue by selling to employers information about high-performing students who might be a good fit for open jobs.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
It makes sense. Recruiting high performing mooc students who might fit a particular job is like having an extended online interview that really shows what a person can do.
When the motivation for learning is a job instead of a grade, I'm guessing high performance will occur..

The changes in technology have had far-reaching effects on every aspect of society, changing what we know, how we know it, how we make a living, and how we see the world and each other.
