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.).

Latest news, events and thoughts about MOOCs

Latest news, events and thoughts about MOOCs | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

I present here a compilation of news, thoughts, and movements in the MOOCs field.

Alfredo Corell's insight:

- A main concern is the low level of courses completions (below 10%):

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/17/measuring-the-success-of-online-education , one can consider 20% completion a success: http://technorati.com/technology/article/are-massive-open-online-courses-moocs/

 

- In the same line, a Coursera's MOOC had 180.000 students, but less than 26.000 are now running: http://www.hackcollege.com/blog/2013/01/22/duke-university-professors-mooc-has-180000-students.html

 

-On the other hand US universities are thinking to link a first free MOOC with a second official course for credit in the named "MOOC2Grade":

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/23/education/public-universities-to-offer-free-online-classes-for-credit.html?_r=3&

 

-Competition between Universities is open for the MOOC market, New international alliances are growing: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/01/22/foreign-universities-consider-how-best-enter-mooc-market

When is a MOOC not a MOOC? - Professors and universities debating - Enterprises releasing iPad Apps

When is a MOOC not a MOOC? - Professors and universities debating - Enterprises releasing iPad Apps | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

By Vance Stevens:


I have to admit I would not be drawn to a blog post entitled so vacuously as, "what MOOC means to me" (so I thought up something catchy and made the real purpose of this post its subtitle). However, it's early days for working out what MOOC means for anyone. People have different ideas about what MOOC means, period. Obviously, the most relevant meaning is the one that reaches any one of us personally. MOOC means a lot to me, I'm going to try to pin down that meaning here, and maybe this will help you get your own grip on what MOOC might mean to you.

La calidad y los MOOCs: La interacción.

La calidad y los MOOCs: La interacción. | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

Por Miguel Zapata Ros

 

Estoy trabajando en la asignatura de Calidad en el Máster de Alcalá. Renovando un material que ya estaba un poco rancio (en él hablaba de cosas como RSDI, FTP, listas de discusión y de otras antiguallas).
La esencia del modelo propuesto se basa en detectar qué rasgos del sistema de formación favorecen un mejor aprendizaje. Planteamiento recursivo que lleva en sí mismo el concepto de calidad. Y a partir de esos rasgos definir en un bucle qué requisitos son necesarios, e intentar plasmarlos en indicadores.
En esa tarea he llegado al rasgo "interactivo" o a plantearme en este contexto y para este fin qué es la interactividad. Y he llegado a la siguiente formulación, que espero sea profusamente debatida y criticada

Avanza el reconocimiento académico de los cursos online en Coursera

Avanza el reconocimiento académico de los cursos online en Coursera | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

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.

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.

Why online courses can never totally replace the campus experience | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it
Moocs (massive open online courses) may have many merits, says Patrick McGhee, and some may soon even be accredited – but they can never replace real shared experiences...

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.”

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

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?
