Here’s a list of blogs that feed my teaching soul, hunger for knowledge, and need for deeper insights into teaching, learning and writing. There are so many wonderful blogs that it’s impossible to list them all here, so I’m listing the ones that have been most relevant to my own professional development. As such, they should be relevant to any teacher who wants to turn online teaching and/or publishing into a fully-fledged career.

We are going to see research in the next 3-5 years coming in about the beneficts and challenges of MOOC's. Interesting to me are the business models. Great marketing tool for those who have a current base of clients.

I have little to add to this other than that the collection of papers provides a distinctive European perspective on MOOCs. As a consequence (?), the focus is more on the pedagogy than on the economics of higher education (@pbsloep) Delete the scoop?

Special issues give our readers and our authors an opportunity to focus on a theme of particular relevance.

Many good ideas can be found here regarding what we need to teach students about curating digital content for learning. The importance of story - and to really look at something (or read it!). The importance of asking quesitons and seeking answers before adding it to your curated collection to determine if it is a good fit. There are many parallels to the world of digital curation.

In dieser Ausgabe soll Licht in die Frage gebracht werden, inwiefern sich MOOCs auf Bildungseinrichtungen und Lerner auswirken. Welche Lehr- und Lernstrategien können benutzt werden, um die MOOC-Lernerfahrung zu verbessern? Wie passen MOOCs in die aktuelle Bildungslandschaft? Bieten Sie ein tragfähiges Modell für Entwicklungsländer?
Darüber hinaus müssen wir uns die potenziellen Auswirkungen auf die vorhandenen Bildungsstrukturen näher ansehen. In Anbetracht des Wachstums von xMOOC-Anbietern wie Coursera, Udacity, edX oder der erst kürzlich ins Leben gerufenen europäischen Plattform Futurelearn lautet eine zentrale Frage: Was ist ihre Rolle im Bildungssystem und vor allem in der Hochschulbildung?
Diese Sonderausgabe der eLearning Papers bringt gründliche Recherchen und Beispiele aus der Praxis zusammen, um eine Debatte in diesem aufkommenden Forschungsgebiet anzuregen. Via Heiko Idensen Delete the scoop?

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?
