Notes de l'éditeur
- MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. It’s massive because it can have an unlimited number of learners working together. It’s open because anyone can participate. Traditional MOOCs are offered free of charge, unless they are taken for university credit. The work all takes place online, through a combination of social networking, wiki creation, real-time meeting in venues like Skype, and through audio and video podcasts. It’s a single-topic course, lasting from a few weeks to an entire semester.
- Connectivism – network itself is important, success is result of creation and cultivation of learning network CCK08 – Term coined by Dave Cormier and Bryan Alexander in a course led by George Siemens and Stephen Downes, consisted of 25 fee-paying students at University of Manitoba and 2300 non fee-paying public participants (Daniel, 2012). Content available through RSS feeds, threaded discussions, blogs, online meetings. Stanford AI – 2012 – 58000 participants – facilitator Sebastian Thrun later founded Udacity.
- Smith “in an xMOOC you watch videos, in a cMOOC you make videos” Reality is many more types of MOOCs Others (Donald Clark): transfer Moocs (take existing course and moocify it where focus is transferring knowledge from teacher to students); synchMOOCs with defined timeframes/deadlines, where asynchMOOCs are looser in terms of deadlines; adaptiveMOOCs – aim to personalise epxeriences driven by analytics; groupMOOCs or projectMOOCs: add small collaborative (sometimes physical) groups
