Rules of the Game• 5 Minute presentations• Discussion points• Q & A

SannaSimonSunnePierrePaul

Show me the money• What are the sustainable business models for

MOOCs? • What’s the MOOCs ROI?

– €100k for 300 students applying for certificate (example) = €330 per student. Maybe better to fly them to a seminar?

Poll 2: is there a sustainable business model for MOOCs?

1. Fremium2. Branding & marketing3. Philanthropy4. Sandbox for educational innovation5. Sponsorship - promotion of political / social /

commercial agenda6. Nope.

Show me the learning• Do MOOCs deliver? Do we have evidence of

learning?• What works (and what doesn’t)?• Do we need a new pedagogy (or heutagogy?)

for MOOCs?

Poll 3: is there a pedagogical model for

MOOCs?1. A course is a course. Video it & put online.2. Open Universities have been doing online learning

for years, learn from them.3. Massive + Open + Online = new possibilities (and

challenges)4. There is a pedagogy (cMOOCs), but most MOOCs

ignore it.5. Not yet, but we’re getting there6. No, vanity + entertainment ≠ pedagogy

Quality?How do you measure the quality of MOOCs?•Completion rates?•Satisfaction?•Analytics?•Derivative effects?•Design audit?

Poll 4: Good MOOC, Bad MOOC - how do you measure quality?

1. Completion rate2. Satisfaction 3. Analytics4. Design audit5. Observable effects6. None of these. We need new methods.

Not what we imagined?MOOCs have been around for seven years…•What have we learnt?•Share your most glorious mistakes..

Where are we going?• Are MOOCs here to stay, or will they fade into

the general scene of online & blended learning?

• What’s your timeline for the future?

Poll 5: Are MOOCs here to stay?

1. Na, in 5 years they will be buried on lost islands in Second Life.

2. Sorta. They will blend into other forms of online / blended learning.

3. Yes, as part of a healthy eco-system of pure, blended and hybrid educational forms

4. MOOCs will rule, all others beware.
