A brief history of MOOC

The acronym was created by DAVE CORMEIR UPEI’s Manager of Web Communications and Innovations and a prominent blogger and podcaster on education technology.  

It came out of a podcast hosted with DR GEORGE SIEMENs of the University of Athabasca and Stephen Downes of the NRC, who together offered the first MOOC in 2008 through the University of Manitoba.

They opened the course online and immediately 2300 people joined and all of this was done in 2008 and they opened everything the course outlines and materials.

The most exciting thing about MOOC open content, open registration and it focus on connecting community.

The advantage about it is that you use your self pace, no one is pushing you or telling you about due dates.

You just listen to the role of the instructor if all want is studying in order to be an active study MOOC student.

The role of the teacher has changed, or is changing, or could-maybe-might-be changing, depending on your perspective and your attachment to traditional teacher-student models. 

It helps to give librarians new opportunities to help shape the conversation about changes in higher education and to guide administrators, faculty, and students through these changes.
