look for online MOOC, analyse it and share the results

taking inspiration from 'A new classification for MOOCs by Gráinne Conole' (http://mooc.efquel.org/a-new-classification-for-moocs-grainne-conole/), who has established a set of twelve dimensions to classify MOOCs like the degree of openness, the scale of participation (massification), the amount of use of multimedia, the amount of communication, the extent to which collaboration is included, the type of learner pathway (from learner centred to teacher-centred and highly structured), the level of quality assurance, the extent to which reflection is encouraged, the level of assessment, how informal or formal it is, autonomy, and diversity (See more at: http://mooc.efquel.org/a-new-classification-for-moocs-grainne-conole/#sthash.5FSXxZFc.dpuf)

ASSIGNEMENT:

  1. Esablish a group of teachers and each one of you will search online for at list one MOOC in a field of your interest (you can search the MOOC in any language suitable for you).
  2. Each teacher or sub group of teachers, will map the found MOOC using the table below
  3. Share the results via email
  4. Sit together in a room and discuss the results

 

Mapping to the twelve dimensions of MOOCs:

MOOC Title  
MOOC link  
MOOC language  
Dimension Degree of evidence Low / Medium / High
Open  
Massive  
Use of multimedia  
Degree of communication  
Degree of collaboration  
Learning pathway  
Quality Assurance  
Amount of reflection  
Certification  
Formal learning  
Autonomy  
Diversity  

 

Example of implementation of the MOOC table criteria in the design of a course.

The following table shows how these criteria can be used to characterise a Continuing Professional Development course for Medics. The course is informal and is aimed at Medics in a local authority in the UK. - See more at: http://mooc.efquel.org/a-new-classification-for-moocs-grainne-conole/#sthash.5FSXxZFc.dpuf

Dimension Degree of evidence
Open High – The course is built using open source tools and participants are encouraged to share their learning outputs using the creative commons license.
Massive Low – The course is designed for Continuing Professional Development for Medics in a local authority.
Use of multimedia High – The course uses a range of multimedia and interactive media, along with an extensive range of medical OER.
Degree of communication Medium – The participants are encourage to contribute to a number of key debates on the discussion forum, as well as keeping a reflective blog of how the course relates to their professional practice.
Degree of collaboration Low – The course is designed for busy working professionals, collaboration is kept to a minimum.
Learning pathway Medium – There are two structured routes through the course – an advanced and a lite version.
Quality Assurance Medium – The course is peer-reviewed prior to delivery.
Amount of reflection High – Participants are asked to reflect continually during the course, their personal blogs are particularly important in this respect.
Certification Medium – Participants can obtain a number of badges on completion of different aspects of the course and receive a certificate of attendance.
Formal learning Low – The course is informal and optional.
Autonomy High – Participants are expected to work individually and take control of their learning, there is little in the way of tutor support.
Diversity Low – The course is specialised for UK medics in one local authority.
