MOOC : quelques erreurs à ne pas commettre

http://blog.educpros.fr/matthieu-cisel/files/2013/04/cropped-earth.jpgBlog Educpros de Matthieu Cisel. Concevoir un MOOC n’est pas une sinécure, qu’on se le dise. Ce n’était pas la première fois que je me lançais dans ce type de projet; aussi, je savais à quoi m’attendre en acceptant la responsabilité de le mener à bien. La tournure qu’ont pris les événements ne m’a pas surprise; néanmoins, le choc a été rude. C’est une chose de faire partie d’une équipe de MOOC, c’en est une autre que de gérer l’ensemble du processus et de réaliser l’essentiel du travail. En montant cette formation, j’ai fait un certain nombre d’erreurs sur lesquelles j’aimerais revenir; autant que cela profite aux futurs concepteurs de MOOC. Suite de l'article...

xMOOC : origins

http://blog.educpros.fr/matthieu-cisel/files/2013/04/cropped-earth.jpgBlog Educpros de Matthieu Cisel. Ah, combien de pages et de pages de script ont été rédigées pour le MOOC MOOC. On ne les compte même plus. Autant valoriser le travail effectué en diffusant petit à petit les vidéos et les textes produits. Après tout, ce qui a le plus de valeur, c’est l’usage et non la ressource, n’est-ce pas ? Ce serait dommage que les vidéos et les textes ne soient pas disponibles en dehors des éditions du MOOC. A  quoi bon développer des ressources pensées pour l’asynchrone si c’est pour les rendre disponibles seulement sur de courtes périodes ? Voici donc le premier billet d’une longue série, avec le format   »vidéo de cours » et en-dessous le script associé. Dans ce cours de 6 minutes, nous revenons sur les débuts du phénomène MOOC. Des éléments développés de manière plus approfondie dans les billets Un MOOC, kesako ?, Comment tout a commencé et  MOOC : les plates-formes américaines et résumés en une seule vidéo pour être aussi concis que possible. Retour aux origines des xMOOC. Suite de l'article...

Every man his own superprofessor?

http://moreorlessbunk.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/cropped-ford.jpgBy Jonathan Rees. In the spirit of my new anti- “the misuse of technology to destroy higher education by usurping faculty prerogatives” position, I want to discuss this Joshua Kim post about “the end of courses.” He gets into the subject by discussing George Siemens’ keynote at the edX Consortium #FutureEDU conference, and only takes issue with one of George’s points:

Where I take issue with George’s claims of what MOOCs are destroying derives from how I am seeing open online education at scale play out at my campus.

Faculty autonomy. No way. Faculty are more important than ever, and there is absolutely zero intent to influence what they will be teaching. (And I’d argue that the what, rather than the how, is the really important part of the autonomy equation. But we can debate).

I know George, and don’t know Joshua, but really that doesn’t matter because I think they’re both right. My contribution to the debate Joshua invites is going to be to explain why. If you run your own MOOC, you are indeed more important than ever. More...

MOOC Research Initiative: Reports Released

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. MOOC Research Initiative: Reports Released
George Siemens, elearnspace, June 10, 2014
George Siemens posts that the reports from the MOOC Research Initiative are now available. There's a disclaimer on the page saying "reports have not been peer reviewed and are provided without comment or assessment regarding research method and outcome" but I read through a dozen of so of them and find the work would be generally acceptable in academic journals (provided they added a 'literature review' section citing previously published works by the journal's editors and reviewers).
