How MOOCs can develop good (and bad) teaching habits (essay)
Christa Meenan's curator insight,
April 22, 2015 9:26 AM
This essay profiles key pros and cons for MOOCs from a pedagogical standpoint. As positives, author Marie Norman, senior director of educational excellence at Acatar, a Carnegie Mellon-based company, and coauthor of How Learning Works: Seven Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching, highlights a reduction of four "pitfalls" that professors tend to avoid due to the large scope of the course's potential enrollment: Expert Blind Spot (jargon within the discipline), prior knowledge gap, content overload, and motivational deficits (a longstanding criticism of MOOCs). She does caution, however, that MOOCs, by their very nature, lead instructors towards "mistaking a set of lectures as a course" and by not including robust assignments for lack of resources to give feedback. She focuses on MOOCs as a means to bring these issues to light not just for instructors of mega-classes, but for all teachers to perhaps take away the large-scale lessons to our own small-scale classrooms. |
