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

What if teachers embraced the idea of transparency as a form of activism, a way of shining light on what works in the classroom?
Alfredo Corell's insight:
One way to promote change is to allow the outside world to see inside innovative classrooms, hold up positive narratives and be sure everyone knows the consequences of seemingly distant policy decisions.

In November 2011 I was taking one of the first MOOCs from Stanford. At that time, many new MOOCs were being announced and I started Class Central as a way to keep track of them and figure out what I should take next.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
The number of courses offered has grown from about 100 MOOCs in 2012 to almost 700 starting in 2013, with an average of nearly two new MOOCs starting every day. More than 1200 courses have been announced so far. 2013 MOOCs numbers: providers, trends, languages, subjects, etc... by Class Central

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.

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.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
As scores of colleges rush to offer free online classes, the mania over massive open online courses may be slowing down. Even top proponents of MOOCs are acknowledging critical questions remain unanswered, and are urging further study.

"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."

download pdf: http://onlinelearningconsortium.org/sites/default/files/429-2286-1-LE.pdf Abstract: Peer grading offers a scalable and sustainable way of providing assessment and feedback to a massive student population. However, currently there is little empirical evidence to support the credentials of peer grading as a learning assessment method in the MOOC context. To address this research need, this study examined 1,825 peer grading assignments collected from a Coursera MOOC with the purpose of investigating the reliability and validity of peer grading, as well as its perceived effects on students’ MOOC learning experience. The empirical findings provide evidence that the aggregate of student graders can provide peer grading scores fairly consistent and highly similar to instructor grading scores. Student survey responses also indicate peer grading activities to be well received by a majority of MOOC students, who believe it was fair, useful, beneficial, and would recommend it to be included in future MOOC offerings. Based on the empirical results, this study concludes with a set of principles for designing and implementing peer grading activities in the MOOC context.

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."

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.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
The most MOOCs were provided by universities in Spain – 79 – followed by 66 in the UK. “We don’t know what’s going on in Eastern Europe,” Gaebel said. There seemed to be no MOOCs offered by any university in that region at present.

¿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.).

Thanks to Grainne Conole for the post on MOOCs and a New Classification of MOOCs, where she has critiqued thoroughly on quality assurance of MOOCs from a course and instructional design perspective...
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Quality in online education, in particular MOOCs might be defined differently from those quality in classroom education, with a face-to-face teaching environment. What is quality of MOOC from the perspective of educators, learners, and employers?
