In this presentation are identified some of the new knowledge landscape trends (i.e. artificial intelligence, automated skills recognition tools, increasing demand for HE). The current knowledge recognition strategies implemented in the context of MOOCs open the landscape to explore more flexible ways of application and recognition of knowledge, regardless if it developed in formal or informal settings. Name of the event: International MOOC Colloquium - 2nd Edition - The MOOC Identity #MOOCidentity organized by Federica Web Learning - Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II More information: @cristobalcobo

9. • Knowledge as a commodity, is produced, sold, bought and consumed
in a se^ng where market, producOon efficiency, price and markeOng
plays a key role
commodification of knowledge &
knowledge as a currency

10. Data-driven learning:
• Learning analy1cs and adap1ve (or personalized) learning.

16. Questions for further conversations:
• What are we missing only delivering pdf and videos?
• How to offer education that open up the interest to
continue learning?
• Can we reduce the gap between skill demand and education
supply?
• WHAt capabilities are increasingly being replaced by
‘synthetic cognition’ (searching, selecting, organizing,
recognition)?
• Disruption is not in the technology used but in focusing
more in heutagogy rather than (only) on pedagogy

17. Are MOOC ready
to respond to
this changing
knowledge
landscape?
