Massive open online courses – MOOCs – offered by top universities have expanded worldwide over the last three years, gaining students globally for courses designed in the United States and elsewhere and disseminated globally on platforms like Coursera, edX and the British-based FutureLearn.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Many conventional MOOCs are developed and designed for Western teaching and learning experiences, says Auh, the lead project designer for MOOC 2.0. “But the general consensus here [among those working on MOOC 2.0] is that MOOCs education must be a collective effort from all parts of the world.”

Alfredo Corell's insight:
El otro día leí no se dónde [véase Addenda 1] que, si los MOOC son la repuesta, ¿cuál es la pregunta? Supongo que dependerá mucho que quién se hace dicha pregunta. Yo tengo la mía, naturalmente. Pero es un poco larga. De hecho, me costó casi dos horas explicarla en las JUTE 2014 (Jornadas Universitarias de Tecnología Educativa) celebradas en Toledo el 15 y 16 de mayo. Aquí está la presentación que utilicé, por si le sirve a alguien. slideshare: https://www.slideshare.net/epdrntr/el-aprendizaje-en-los-mooc

I want to talk about the MOOC of one. What I mean by that is I want to talk about the development of the MOOC or the Massive Open Online Course. I'm one of the people who designed the concept originally in 2008.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
"Even the MOOCs, the Massive Open Online Courses, that have followed the MOOCs that were developed by George Siemens and myself, the courses offered by Khan Academy, Coursera, Udacity, Udemy, and the rest are all based on the idea of some body of content. Is being one being the same? That's kind of a hard question. It's not even clear what I mean when I ask that. Let's take doctors. Does being a doctor mean having exactly the same knowledge as every other doctor? No."

Alfredo Corell's insight:
European MOOCs are those provided by European institutions, regardless of the platform that hosts them. Each and every MOOC provider was contacted individually to get the most comprehensive and up-to-date information available. Many of the MOOCs accounted for in the scoreboard are also listed in the MOOCs aggregator on this website. Efforts are underway to make the aggregator even more comprehensive and include every MOOC from the scoreboard.
The world of MOOCs is dynamic and growing, and Open Education Europa aims to be the leading online resource for open education innovation. Anyone with additional sources or updates is welcome to contribute to the MOOC scoreboard by contacting us.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
"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 reviews of colleges. Some students are entirely online, while others are traditional students, enrolled at physical campuses, but taking some of their education online."

Alfredo Corell's insight:
So how exactly does online education figure into the future of elite higher education? Judging by what we’ve seen so far, the answer can be divided into three parts: 1. Free online courses for everyone. 2. Paid online courses for professional graduate programs. 3. Online components in face-to-face undergraduate courses.

MOOCs and online education are a technology with potentially revolutionary implications—but without a precise plan for realizing that potential.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
In 2012, Stanford president John Hennessy pronounced that the MOOC was going to be “transformative to education.” But, he added, “We don’t really understand how yet.” Two years later, the landscape remains much the same:MOOCs are a technology with potentially revolutionary implications for education, but without a precise plan for realizing that potential. One way of getting there could be for the leaders of the MOOC movement to look more closely at old methods, from when education was less massive, less open, and entirely offline.

download pdf: http://onlinelearningconsortium.org/sites/default/files/429-2286-1-LE.pdf Abstract: Peer grading offers a scalable and sustainable way of providing assessment and feedback to a massive student population. However, currently there is little empirical evidence to support the credentials of peer grading as a learning assessment method in the MOOC context. To address this research need, this study examined 1,825 peer grading assignments collected from a Coursera MOOC with the purpose of investigating the reliability and validity of peer grading, as well as its perceived effects on students’ MOOC learning experience. The empirical findings provide evidence that the aggregate of student graders can provide peer grading scores fairly consistent and highly similar to instructor grading scores. Student survey responses also indicate peer grading activities to be well received by a majority of MOOC students, who believe it was fair, useful, beneficial, and would recommend it to be included in future MOOC offerings. Based on the empirical results, this study concludes with a set of principles for designing and implementing peer grading activities in the MOOC context.

Like with so many fads, MOOC's are coming under intense scrutiny. New research by MOOC Research and funded by the Gates Foundation shows mooc fad is over. (New post: The Fad of MOOC's is over: Synchronous online learning comes forward.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Is this the begining of the end? Is this the end of the trend? Some universities are planning their future MOOCs while others consider them as a past and useless tool?
On the other hand, the title of this assay could be misleading: what about the good quality offered asynchronous online learning courses? why the reflexion is that after MOOC online education should be only "synchronous"???? On my opinion, one of the most powerful characteristics of online education is the point of asynchronicity.

Define 'MOOC'
Alfredo Corell's insight:
"So if all of our empirical attempts to define a MOOC are ending up in contradiction or absurdity, perhaps we should embrace a definition that puts purposeful educational research and experimentation at the heart of the MOOC project and then take a look at who gets to be (or stay) in the club and who has not yet paid the entrance fee." by Jonathan Haber

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.
