Notes de l'éditeur
- Change is so often disruptive and education, especially HE, seems to be in a sea of change … Open Education, MOOCs, Global access, business and industry stake holders … Let’s take a look at … OPEN EDUCATION
- Open access globally; not a closed LMS/CMSOpen educational resources/ CC … learning materials freely available worldwide with licenses that promote use, reuse and re-purposingIn UK I believe Futurelearn was launched by Open university to bring a wide range of free, open and online materials from leading UK institutions for worldwide access. Open curriculum, learning, assessment, platform
- OERu addresses the need of those seeking a reasonably priced and accessible undergraduate degree. Here, they work on the courses (mostly on their own) and then apply for the credential when they believe they have achieved the learning outcomes for the course. Both (HP and OERu) are open (easy entry; no charge to access or use materials). Both put much of the control in the hands of the learner.
- HP catalyst Academy- it's teachers (K-12) around the world who need easily accessible resources for their professional learning (in small chunks- each chunk should take about 12 hours to complete.) They will get badges and will become part of the Academy community, including a profile page.
- What is a disruption? Something that changes the status quo,alters the normal and expected set of procedure and outcomes. Generally innovative and typically combines new technology that changes rapidly. Is HE in need of disruptive innovations? Using same basic modes of learning from agrarian, through the technological to information age. We are now in the digital era … do we need something else? Global changes are rapidly changing our knowledge and competency needs. Today’s jobs are changing rapidly, and are we ready to adapt to new skills needed?

- The cMOOC is a participatory learning platform and encourages discovery and practice with social media and emerging web tools …
- Use open source access/platform … participants register blogs; aggregates platformdiscussions, blogs, tweets .. Remixes and send out in NewPosts for daily review and repurposing … original cMOOCs developed around this platfiorm and it is the underpinning for our work in cMOOC development
- Building on our work together in International Program development and delivery as well as my work in Creativity and Change Leadership at SUNY/Buffalo State, started designing our first MOOC in Spring of 2011.

- The 5-credit course, Creativity and Multicultural Communication, was based on utilization of modern education platforms, problem solving using such platforms, and online community-building (among other concepts. Creativity and Multicultural Communication was one of the most intriguing and informative courses I have taken during the three years I have attended Empire State College and actually inspired me to apply to graduate programs in library and information sciences. One of the highlights of the course was the ability to perform extensive independent research on content curation, the results of which can be found at the curation page I created for the course: http://www.scoop.it/t/creativity-multicultural-communication.
- Spring of 2012 started work on second MOOC … not for credit and as an adjunct to another open resource course, A Mathemtical Journey that also uses Khan Academy videos. Wanted to attract non math lovers as well as math afficionados

- What’s next … our reflective and forward thoughts … bridging some gaps?MOOCs are here and will most likely remain in some form as they open the world to new perspectives on learning. May be part of a variety of different learning options for HE.Gear learning to expected life/work journeys; change as needed, expand as needed; lifelong learners not an end to learning.I think education should be free to all. The credentialing is where the monetization resides. E portfolios of learning to carry into a resume, badges, certificates; businesses invest and engage in development of what they need in a workforce and collaborate with HE for results …
