My childhood was influenced in some measure by two great icons that no longer exist. The first was Kodak – I adored my Box Brownie and I still have the wonderful grainy black and white pics.

Bericht zum Einsatz von 6 MOOCs in Kooperation mit Coursera. 
timokos's curator insight,
May 17, 4:54 AM
Data and analysis from an evaluation of the 6 MOOCs the University of Edinburg has delivered through the Coursera platform.
"98% of Exit survey respondents indicated that “they felt they got out of the course(s) what they wanted”, with the great majority reporting that the length, pacing and level had been about right.
The most common time spent on study per week on the MOOCs was in the range 2-4hrs." Delete the scoop?

In an open letter, the San Jose professors worry that public higher education will suffer if scholar-student interaction is replaced with videotaped content. Via Robert Farrow, Anne-Christin Tannhäuser 
Anne-Christin Tannhäuser's curator insight,
May 3, 5:25 AM
The SJS professors are getting it somehow wrong " 'In the interest of clarity, our collaboration with edX does indeed locate the responsibility for the course solely with our faculty members, who will determine how much, or how little, of the edX course materials they will incorporate into their blended courses,' wrote Ellen Junn, provost and vice president for academic affairs." Why not some use selected MOOC content as learning material (e.g. flipped classroom). This is a chance to provide great material to students and organises classes differently, not a threat to being replaced.

The full text of the letter (also linked to on the Chronicle) is worth reading: http://chronicle.com/article/The-Document-an-Open-Letter/138937/ presents a somewhat more nuanced view and, as I read it, clarifies that the concerns of the faculty are much more related to aspects of xMoocs rather than flipped/online/ blended ed as such.

Thank you for sharing the full letter, just read it. I might say, that whether x or cMOOC, good online material gives so much flexibility to be integrated into teaching in big or small bits. The open letter gives the impression that the MOOC should substitute the social justice lectures, which is surely not intended.

As tuition costs continue to rise, it seems counterintuitive that professors at top universities would give away their courses for free. But that's exactly what they're doing, on web-based platforms known as "Massive Open Online Courses."

Initial posting for the just launched project #reclaimopen that wants to counter fancy web services that are hosted on third-party servers. Instead it is argued to host applications such as blogs or cloud on controllable servers which are more coducive for building a digital identity.

I've watched with admiration D'Arcy Norman, Doug Belshaw and others engage with their project reclaim for a while now and never yet pushed myself over the edge to self-hosting. it's interesting to see 'reclaim' be transferred to 'open' - a word, concept, and practice that is increasing malleable (we own it but you can access it for kind of free for now/ some of it) or militant (eg free culture CC: By, 0, or PD as the acceptable Open - a position I have a lot of sympathy with but ultimately also question).
