The session attempted to unpack the following ideas: Following from MOOCs what are the future learning paradigms now emerging or currently on the horizon (from a pedagogical, educational and business perspective)? What are the personal, social and economic benefits that these new learning forms will bring to Europe? What requirements do these new learning frameworks impose on the next generation Internet (from a network, services/cloud, media, security, mobile perspective)? How will we meet these requirements? To what extent will our current Future Internet activities meet the requirements? Is there anything we need to initiate?

This paper examines some of the particular challenges around licensing and intellectual property presented by the massive open online course (MOOC) movement. It offers a brief description of the history and nature of the MOOC movement, and underlines how the specific focus of many MOOCs on the collection and analysis of user data has an effect on the way content is presented and licensed. In particular, it focuses on the institutional impact of these decisions, and recommends the investigation of open licences as a means to allow institutions to glean maximum benefit from the time and money they have spent on content creation for MOOCs.

Many Open Education Resources (OER) have been introduced by governments, universities, and individuals within the past few years. OERs provide teaching and learning materials that are freely available and offered online for anyone to use. Whether you’re an instructor, student, or self-learner, you have access to full courses, modules, syllabi, lectures, assignments, quizzes, activities, games, simulations, and tools to create these components.

Why are MOOCs innovative? They provide alternative ways for students to gain new knowledge according to a given curriculum. MOOCs can also enhance learners’ ability to think creatively to select and adapt a paradigm to solve the problem at hand. These are the main findings of a case study on the Discrete Optimization MOOC on Coursera.

Mr. Siemens said what was happening was part of a natural process. “We’re moving from the hype to the implementation,” he said. “It’s exciting to see universities saying, ‘Fine, you woke us up,’ and beginning to grapple with how the Internet can change the university, how it doesn’t have to be all about teaching 25 people in a room.
