  1. M Cubed Micro-Credentials Metadata MOOCs

  2. Defining a MOOC • Massive: Extremely large numbers • Open: Open entry to all participants regardless of ability or location • Online: Use network technologies for communication and information sharing • Course: There are defined start and end dates and tasks

  3. The purpose of MOOCs: • Idealistically (p6): The development of MOOCs is rooted within the ideals of openness in education, that knowledge should be shared freely, and the desire to learn should be met without demographic, economic, and geographical constraints. • Reality (p4): The rapid expansion of MOOCs has sparked commercial interest from venture capitalists and major corporations who want to enter the HE market using a MOOC approach.

  4. Defining cMOOC and xMOOC Different ideologies have seen MOOCs eveolve in two pedagogical directions: • ConnectivistMOOCs (cMOOC) which are based on a connectivism theory of learning with networks developed informally; and • Content-basedMOOCs (xMOOCs), which follow a more behaviourist approach and have been launched by “brand” institutions (Harvard, MIT …. …).

  5. Brain-Storm Activity 1 Which purpose / definition of MOOC best fits the ITP sector? • Use a post-it-note to describe in 1 sentence • Why one is the best fit, • why the other it not the best fit? • Use white-board to display “post-it-note”

  6. Metadata and MOOCs • How will learners discover MOOCs • How will they know what will be learnt • Duration …. …….. Brain Storm Use post it note to describe a field. Place in appropriate order on wall An Example: http://www.ibiblio.org/pomerantz/wiki/index.php/INLS_720:_Metadata

  7. Micro-Credentials and MOOCs Micro-Credentials / Badges A badge is a validated indicator of an accomplishment, skill, quality or interest that is linked to an individual

  8. Brain-Storm Activity 3 • MOOCs are catalyzing exploration of alternative credentialing systems, including certifying prior knowledge. • What should be included • Micro-credentials Badges: https://github.com/mozilla/openbadges/wiki/Assertions
