Long before the course launched, I felt sure that there were two things we would need to accomplish, and accomplish well, in order to make a (conceptual, proof-oriented) advanced math MOOC work: the establishment (and data gathering from) small study groups in which students could help one another, and the provision of a crowd-sourced evaluation and grading system.

I had the opportunity to attend a session last week, hosted by Pearson, on how higher ed faculty use social media. Much of the content was quite interesting. You can download the full research report here.

This post does not explain too much about Course Builder, it talks mainly about Google MOOC course "Power Searching with Google". But this is the software they used to create this course, so I'm sure it is worth to have a look.

Este trabajo describe cómo los estudiantes universitarios evalúan la información que buscan en internet. La investigación se realizó en Mondragon Unibertsitatea, donde participaron 140 estudiantes de la licenciatura en Comunicación Audiovisual del curso 2007-2008 y 32 de sus profesores. Los datos cuantitativos fueron recogidos a través de dos cuestionarios, uno para los alumnos y otro para recoger la opinión de los profesores sobre cómo evalúan información sus alumnos. Los datos cualitativos se recogieron a través de cinco grupos de discusión. Los resultados muestran que a la hora de evaluar la información los estudiantes se fijan sobre todo en el aspecto del documento o página web, en la actualidad de la información y en donde se ha publicado la información.

As a politics professor, I feel I should know something about health policy, but it is mostly dread that made me sign up for Ezekiel Emanuel’s class, Health Policy and the Affordable Care Act, through Coursera. Word is that higher education is about to be disrupted by online providers, like Coursera and Udacity, and their MOOCs (massive open online courses). If students can take political philosophy with Harvard’s Michael Sandel for free, why will they pay to take it with me?
