This keynote was given at ITSligo, Ireland, to highlight a project which integrates existing MOOC in k12 classrooms to increase digital skills and lifelong learning capacities for 16 - 17 year old students. This project uses a three step approach allowing young students to learn what MOOCs are, which platforms exist, and how to interact with others. At first there is a lot of teacher support, where at the end of the academic year, the students select and follow a MOOC of their own choosing...

Le microlearning revient régulièrement dans les bouches des spécialistes car il répond à des préoccupations fortes qui se sont amplifiées avec l'arrivée du numérique dans nos usages. Mais les interrogations quant à son utilisation demeurent et il n'y a pas consensus quant à la forme qu'il doit prendre. Sans doute est-ce pour le mieux ? Dans un monde où les façons et les moyens d'apprendre diffèrent d'individu en individu, et où le temps manque, l'adaptabilité des formations aux besoins et impératifs des employés est la clé...

... Denial is another factor in faculty opposition. In a recent debate at my business school on disruption theory and its application to higher education, a faculty colleague stated flatly, “MOOCS have failed.” He was perhaps thinking of some reports of low completion rates for Massive Open Online Classes (MOOCs). But in fact they are doing quite well...

Learning Circles add a social element to what is otherwise a solitary learning experience by bringing people together in person to take an online course together over six to eight weeks, with the help of a facilitator. Librarians at Chicago Public Library (CPL) partnered with the nonprofit Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) to make online education more accessible through this program. Libraries are a perfect setting for Learning Circles for several reasons: ...

In this paper, we examine how multiple social media platforms are being used for formal and informal learning by examining data from two connectivist MOOCs (or cMOOCs). Our overarching goal is to develop and evaluate methods for learning analytics to detect and study collaborative learning processes. For this paper, we focus on how to link multiple online identities of learners and their contributions across several social media platforms in order to study their learning behaviours in open online environments....

Course providers that produce the online programmes or host them on digital platforms are becoming more serious about revenues, are more aware of their competition and are making bold claims about how they can help solve skills gaps — even in developed countries. Among the boldest is OpenClassrooms, a Paris-based Mooc provider that specialises in teaching people how to code...

Un groupement d'intérêt public, le GIP FUN-MOOC, a d'ailleurs été créé l'an dernier pour permettre la poursuite de l'aventure et accompagner l'évolution de la plateforme. Après la mise en place d'une v3, et une récente ouverture au format SPOC pour les formations continues, le GIP FUN-MOOC a décidé de rendre possible la certification de ses cours. Catherine Mongenet, directrice du GIP FUN-MOOC, a gentiment accepté de nous parler de ce nouveau projet.

... les Executive Education ont le devoir de réfléchir à leur positionnement: comment répondre à ces nouvelles attentes d’un marché en pleine émergence ? Leur offre très ciblée, qui s’adresse aujourd’hui à des apprenants triés sur le volet, est-elle compatible avec la connaissance en libre accès pour tous ? Et si oui, comment l’intégrer et à quel prix ?

... Our findings reveal that many participants could relate to and welcomed the anti-authoritarian, anti-hierarchical characteristics of the rhizome, but that knowledge and understanding of Deleuze and Guattari’s conceptual principles of the rhizome was more difficult. Lack of engagement with theory and lack of appreciation of the incompleteness and complexities of the rhizome metaphor can result in negative consequences, such as imbalances in power relations and increased vulnerability for some learners.

So why is it that I watch MOOC videos at double speed, but listen to audiobooks at 1.0x? I hate audiobooks at faster than normal speed.
