5. What about the changes in education?
6. An era of disruptive technologies A messy connected world… Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo_and_Behold,_Rev eries_of_the_Connected_World
7. Our students are “evolving”….
15. To fulfill all their “likes”.
16. Our teachers are also evolving…
20. Typical Functions LMS Platforms (Open Source & Commercial)
21. LMS then expands… and the term “Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)” became popular.
22. What is MOOC anyway? Online courses are nothing new but the key to MOOCs is in its Massiveness and Openness. But how massive is massive? How open is open? Massive = could be from hundreds to even millions of students enrolled. Open = should be fully free without restriction. (But this slowly can become a more closed-ended courses with fee)
23. OER OCW MOOC Open Educational Resources (totally free for use) Compilation of OERs as a course (totally free but without facilitation) Open courses (which can be free or with fee. Conducted with facilitation and assessment) The Simplified “Evolution” of Open Learning Content
24. Where it all began….
25. Notable MOOC platforms
26. The “Boon” and “Bane” of MOOCs (Largely still free) (Credited Courses will be available soon)
27. MOOC VALUE PROPOSITION • Attracting potential applicants and engaging alumni (“MOOCeting”) • Creating communities of learners (serious lifelong learners). • Using MOOC components/materials in traditional courses (blended mode) • Using MOOCs to advance research 15
28. MOOCing for learning Learners Quality of learning Widening participation Reusing existing resources (RMxx) Low-cost assessment & accreditation Innovation MOOCeting for earning Institution Quality of content Marketing/Recruitment Creating new content (RMxxx,xxx) “Conversion rates” from MOOC students to fee-paying students Innovation LANGUAGE OF THE MOOCOLOGY
29. WHAT WORKS FOR MOOC VIDEOS? • Brevity (viewers generally tune out after six minutes) • Informality, with professors seated comfortably/casually at a desk, not standing behind a podium • Lively visuals rather than static PowerPoint slides • Fast talkers (professors seen as the most engaging spoke at 254 words per minute) – but not too fast – the key is not to sound like robots. • More pauses, so viewers can soak in complex diagrams • Web-friendly lessons (existing videos broken into shorter chunks are less effective than ones crafted for online audiences) 17 MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab study of EdX
30. IS MOOC ALL ABOUT VIDEOS? 18
31. Designing a course with technology ▪ To facilitate/enhance the learning process (beyond the four walls of your classroom) ▪ Should be used as assistive (guide) tools not assertive (force). ▪ Teaching + Technology = Teachnology
32. Considerations of technological INTEGRATION ▪ Should be contextualised and authentic ▪ Should focus on social interactions as the driving force of learning process ▪ Should provide enough control and ownership of the tasks
33. But remember…. "Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important. And good teachers, always use good tools.
