Accessible education
Accessible educational resources
Knowledge increases by sharing
Efcient use of resources
Open source software
MOOC
Massive (but how many is massive)
Open, free, accessible (how open?)
Online
Course, but no certicate (at least....)
2008: cMOOCs
2011: xMOOCs
In the mean time
Large diversity (e.g. pedagogical approaches)
Combination different innovations (badges, mobile
learning, learning analytics)
Should the C of MOOC stand for Course?
Drop out as issue, quality, business model
Used for LLL, more awareness opportunities for LLL
Lot of questions to be answered
Are VLEs able to facilitate MOOCs?
Vragen?
