Invited Speaker Session: Fiona Harvey – Watching the MOOCs go by – where we have been an Home : Annual Conference 2014

Public Group Active 7 years, 11 months ago

Mon, Sep 1 2014, 2:05pm – 3:05pm

Description

It’s been a year since the launch of the MOOC Special Interest Group, with two conferences and regular meetings this talk will look back at where we have been and where we will go in the future as we watch Moocs for ALT.

Looking back over the year helps us to reflect on our predictions and compare these to what really happened. In the past year Futurelearn has been launched as the UK platform provider, many UK Higher Education institutions are involved in creating courses that they would never have been making before. We have much more information than we did last year about the learners and why they choose to participate. It’s not been the Tsunami that was predicted but they have sparked interest in the use of technology for learning.

And what about next year? Come along and be part of the discussion as we explore Moocs together.
