Online education trend: 20 resources for Online Learning

Online education trend: 20 resources for Online Learning | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it
Getting started with something new is usually a challenging and time-consuming task. Traditionally, you need to bury your nose in books. It sounds boring. However, on the Internet it takes a whole new turn. With numerous online educational programs, things begin to look more pleasant and enjoyable. You can quickly grasp the solution and remain in a positive mood. It is not surprising that online learning has doubled in popularity and has become a real trend.

You can find certified tutors for different issues: there are walkthroughs for everyone and everything from knitting a sweater to 'cooking' a fully working mobile application. You can mature as a specialist or taste a brand-new field. The great thing is that real experts are involved. Not only do they explain techniques and basics but also share their precious experience and even reveal their secrets.

Starting with correspondence courses and ending up with the apparition of MOOCs, education tried to bring closer students from all around the world.
The post 4 Ways Teachers Can Encourage Online Interaction appeared first on Edudemic.
Alfredo Corell's insight:

If you are a teacher wanting to increase the interaction with students while helping them to learn online you have to identify the right way to communicate with students. You may want to achieve this no matter if we are talking about actual MOOCs or a custom way you choose to disseminate materials in a digital format. So here are some helpful tools which you can implement to encourage interaction and enhance your teaching skills

"More than one-third of all college students are taking at least one online course, according to the Babson Survey

Research Group’s most recent Survey of Online Learning. That’s more than 6.7 million students. And those students are

taking courses that have been tested by years of experience and that have been reviewed as part of regular accreditation

but taking some of their education online."

Here’s a list of blogs that feed my teaching soul, hunger for knowledge, and need for deeper insights into teaching,  learning and writing. There are so many wonderful blogs that it’s impossible to list them all here,  so I’m listing the ones that have been most relevant to my own professional development. As such, they should be relevant to any teacher who wants to turn online teaching and/or publishing into a fully-fledged career.

Providers of Free MOOC's Now Charge Employers for Access to Student Data - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Providers of Free MOOC's Now Charge Employers for Access to Student Data - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it
Providers of free online courses are officially in the headhunting business, bringing in revenue by selling to employers information about high-performing students who might be a good fit for open jobs.
Alfredo Corell's insight:

It makes sense.  Recruiting high performing mooc students who might fit a particular job is like having an extended online interview that really shows what a person can do.  

 

When the motivation for learning is a job instead of a grade, I'm guessing high performance will occur..

The Rise of the MOOC: The Future of Higher Education?

Higher education is a sector that has thus far embraced – but arguably has not been fundamentally altered by – the growth of the Internet. This has been rapidly changing over the last few years with the rise of MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses; a way of learning that lets students participate on their own terms via the Internet. MOOCs have been embraced in a big way by elite universities and institutions, and are beginning to have a major impact on higher education. But are MOOCs really delivering quality access to education, or are they creating huge issues for the education sector? ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN aims to explore the issue in detail.

 

The MOOC prize is a very positive reason to contribute to the education of hte poorest. More on this topic:

Can Technology Replace Teachers?

How Khan Academy and other advances in educational technology are changing the role of teachers.
Via Yasemin Allsop
Alfredo Corell's insight:

So, to come back to the original question: can technology replace teachers? The short answer: not quite. While the need may differ between adult and children learners, I think everyone can benefit from the right mix of teacher and technology. What that right mix is will differ for each individual student, depending upon their learning style.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
SEIS HABILIDADES PARA PEDAGOGOS/AS CONECTIVISTAS 1. Competencias técnicas: participar de manera activa en las nuevas tecnologías educativas. El uso de cualquier herramienta requiera una combinación de conocimientos técnicos y sus oportunidades pedagógicas. 2. Experimentación: debemos utilizar indistintamente las diferentes herramientas y variar los métodos de enseñanza. Los/las educadores/as deben estar constantemente adquiriendo información sobre nuevas tecnologías y refinando la manera en que transmiten el conocimiento a sus alumnos, para mejorarlo. 3. Autonomía: debemos proporcionar a los/las alumnos/as un espacio de aprendizaje autónomo. Todo/a estudiante tiene que experimentar y necesita para ello explorar, participar y definir su propio aprendizaje. 4. Creación: los/las estudiantes deben ser participativos/as para fomentar el aprendiazaje activo. La creación permite implementar las ideas y crear actividades. 5. Juego: el juego permite explotar grandes ideas. No pongas límites a la imaginación. 6. Desarrollo de capacidades complejas: adapta los contextos a las situaciones.

The year of the MOOCs: courses are Multiplying very quickly and they're generating massive amounts of Resources

The year of the MOOCs: courses are Multiplying very quickly and they're generating massive amounts of Resources | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it
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.”
