I want to talk about the MOOC of one. What I mean by that is I want to talk about the development of the MOOC or the Massive Open Online Course. I'm one of the people who designed the concept originally in 2008.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
"Even the MOOCs, the Massive Open Online Courses, that have followed the MOOCs that were developed by George Siemens and myself, the courses offered by Khan Academy, Coursera, Udacity, Udemy, and the rest are all based on the idea of some body of content. Is being one being the same? That's kind of a hard question. It's not even clear what I mean when I ask that. Let's take doctors. Does being a doctor mean having exactly the same knowledge as every other doctor? No."

Seguramente, a estas alturas, ya conoces qué es un MOOC (si no, mira este enlace), o incluso participas en alguno. Pero es posible que, además, te hayas planteado crear tu propio curso masivo. Si es tu caso, este post es para ti.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Observatorio MOOC propone una quizás excesivamente simple regla de 7 pasos para crear un MOOC de calidad.
Para realmente proponer un MOOC de calidad no tienes que elegir ninguna materia (paso 1) ni buscar un equipo de calidad (paso 2) ni crear un buen programa (paso 3). Realmente, si eres experto en ese campo... estos 3 pasos ya están dados.
No se puede pretender crear MOOCs de calidad como churros.

When students learn online, every mouse click is tracked. Harness this wealth of data and we can create the ultimate in personalised lessons.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
If this trend continues, then, students could soon be receiving the ultimate in personalised teaching, with unique lessons targeted exactly to their needs, motivations and learning style.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
¿Dónde estamos en julio de 2013? ¿Sigue el “ciclo de sobreexpectación” sobre los MOOC? O, si se cumple el modelo de Gartner, ¿ya nos adentramos en el “abismo de desilusión”? (Wikipedia: “Las tecnologías entran en el abismo de desilusión porque no se cumplen las expectativas. Estas tecnologías dejan de estar de moda y en consecuencia, por lo general la prensa abandona el tema.).

Massive open online courses are the educational happening of the moment. Everyone wants in. No one is quite sure what they’re getting into.
IN late September, as workers applied joint compound to new office walls, hoodie-clad colleagues who had just met were working together on deadline. Film editors, code-writing interns and “edX fellows” — grad students and postdocs versed in online education — were translating videotaped lectures into MOOCs, or massive open online courses. As if anyone needed reminding, a row of aqua Post-its gave the dates the courses would “go live.”
The MOOCs are also generating a massive amount of MOOC Resources: http://www.worldofwebcast.com/post/massive-list-of-mooc-resources-lit-and-literati
Creative Commons says MOOCs should be kept "Open" in a couple of senses: The original MOOCs…were “open” in two respects. First, they were open enrollment to students outside the hosting university. That is open as in “open registration.” Second, the materials of the course were licensed using Creative Commons licenses so their materials could be remixed and reused by others. That is open as in “open license.” Continue reading at: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/34852
Also there are some experiences puzzled togehter in The Guardian: Learning for free online Distance learning is increasingly popular and one of the reasons is the growing number of free courses being offered online Continue reading here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2012/oct/23/free-online-distance-learning?INTCMP=SRCH
The MIT Technology Review says: MOOCs are The Most Important Education Technology in 200 Years Students anywhere are being offered free instruction online. What will that do to the trillion-dollar education business? http://www.technologyreview.com/news/506351/the-most-important-education-technology-in-200-years/

One thing caught my eye while tooling around the Coursera web site: the advent of MOOC Meetup groups. Last I checked, more than 11,000 students had signed up for meet up groups in more than 1,100 cities worldwide! Via Ana Cristina Pratas

Reflexion sobre los MOOC del formidable Jordi Adell. Jornadas JUTE 2014 - 15 y 16 de mayo en Toledo
Alfredo Corell's insight:
El otro día leí no se dónde [véase Addenda 1] que, si los MOOC son la repuesta, ¿cuál es la pregunta? Supongo que dependerá mucho que quién se hace dicha pregunta. Yo tengo la mía, naturalmente. Pero es un poco larga. De hecho, me costó casi dos horas explicarla en las JUTE 2014 (Jornadas Universitarias de Tecnología Educativa) celebradas en Toledo el 15 y 16 de mayo. Aquí está la presentación que utilicé, por si le sirve a alguien. slideshare: https://www.slideshare.net/epdrntr/el-aprendizaje-en-los-mooc

Alfredo Corell's insight:
European MOOCs are those provided by European institutions, regardless of the platform that hosts them. Each and every MOOC provider was contacted individually to get the most comprehensive and up-to-date information available. Many of the MOOCs accounted for in the scoreboard are also listed in the MOOCs aggregator on this website. Efforts are underway to make the aggregator even more comprehensive and include every MOOC from the scoreboard.
The world of MOOCs is dynamic and growing, and Open Education Europa aims to be the leading online resource for open education innovation. Anyone with additional sources or updates is welcome to contribute to the MOOC scoreboard by contacting us.

The three sorts of MOOCs would serve different types of learners differently based on what the institutions would offer and what the learners might need and expect.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
What would be the future of MOOCs? As discussed, the three sorts of MOOCs would serve different types of learners differently based on what the institutions would offer and what the learners might need and expect. There are no clear crystal balls in accurately predicting what would emerge out of these winners, though it is for sure that the ultimate model of Higher Education would likely go with xMOOCs within the coming decade, as the demand for qualifications, formal teacher-based education is still the norm.

A pesar de su corta edad los MOOCs siguen experimentando variaciones importantes. Los x-MOOCs (modelo automatizado, centrado en la tecnología y con rentabilida económica esperada de la oferta formativa en línea, Ej: Udacity), los c-MOOCs (basados en el conectivismo, el aprendizaje distribuido y más centrado en el alumno. Ej: EdX) y una tercera variante que puede ser una especie de híbrido de las dos anteriores.

"When campus president Wallace Loh walked into Juan Uriagereka's office last August, he got right to the point. “We need courses for this thing — yesterday!” Uriagereka, associate provost for faculty affairs at the University of Maryland in College Park, knew exactly what his boss meant. Campus administrators around the world had been buzzing for months about massive open online courses, or MOOCs: Internet-based teaching programmes designed to handle thousands of students simultaneously, in part using the tactics of social-networking websites."

Will the impact of MOOCs make their way to the high school?

Cada vez es más el reconocimiento que se otorga a los cursos online (especialmente si son de calidad como los que ofrece Coursera). Ahora la Antioch University también ofrecera MOOCs (massive open online courses) reconocidos como parte de su programa de títulos universitarios. Antioch ofrecerá las máximas facilidades y soporte online para que los estudiantes aprueben los créditos con éxito, aportando material online de calidad y ofreciendo instructores que estarán pendientes de los alumnos.
