MOOC BOOK 1.0 (old version)

We work with HEIs and shared this project with them, lecturers find it very interesting and helpful with further personal development.

Will pass this on to my colleagues, our students will be interested.

Very interesting and helpful. Thank you!

I wonder if and how MOOCs have advanced already in the direction of group learning, in contrast to individual learning. My interest stems in particular from the well-known problem in more traditional HE of “awarding” group members a fair grade (or score or similar) in comparison to their peers. This is called the Team-Mate-Dilemma. Having worked out on my own a complete solution to this problem, including scoring rules and scales, I would like to investigate how that might be integrated in e.g. MOOCs. Thanks for any helpful information.

I don’t actually see from a logical point of view why payable MOOCs are excluded by definition. Whether you pay or whether it’s for free shouldn’t make a difference neither in the learning experience nor in the technical issues that go along with it. In fact, you could turn the argument around: if a supplier requires a fee he of course is much more obliged to provide good quality than someone who doesn’t invest.

This is a very useful resource for all who intend to benefit from MOOCs but also for those who already have experience in this field. The information is very well structured. A very good idea is to allow users to add comments and share opinions. Thus, the resource is evolving continuously.

For me, as a university lecturer, this guide is very useful. The use of the MOOCs as part of an education course or in addition to it allows to explore different approaches, examples and concepts that complement and enrich the knowledge gained through the classical university training courses.

hank you for the work done! The book is really handy and helpful!
I’d like to recommend a bit more pedagogical context to be included. As a teacher, I’d rather use it as a good tool for developing theoretical and practical readiness of my students in my domain.

I’ve been impressed by the opportunities the book provides and I’ll surely spend time to find out how to use them in my work.

The book presents an in-depth analysis of the opportunities and potential of the MOOC from different aspects: business, educational organizations – colleges and universities and society. Important issues have been affected by the following topics: creativity and innovation in education in European aspect, intellectual property rights in e-learning, entrepreneurship education through MOOC, certification. It is useful.
