• Emerged from the ‘open’ community at the turn of the century.
• The ideology of online courses available to all with no entry requirements, personal pathways and a choice of certification or not.
• Begun life in the US with Coursera and with FutureLearn in the UK (2012).
The Ideology of the MOOC“Content will be free”“MOOCs will make HE accessible to the boy in a Cairo slum”“Many academics are happy to donate time because of the reach of MOOCs” “A piece of s/w can understand exactly how a student learns which the teacher cannot do”
“A lot of what you teach is not viable to charge for because the machine will do it better”
“No.1 pushback from investors was they did not understand why it needed to be accredited because no-one will care”
“$100m venture capital – to share tuition revenue”“Coursera model has 3 income streams: certification (not accredited), employers pay, other institutions pay”
[Goldman Sachs MOOC debate Nov 2012]

It’s good to share….• The ability to share over the Internet, on a
range of devices and through a variety of tools is a ubiquitous part of modern technology.
• Sharing can be ‘public’ and ‘private’ and can enable personalisation.
Gamification
• The application of games-based elements and approaches to non-games contexts.
• Includes concerns for motivation, awards, competition, progress through levels, instructions and social elements.
• Coursera MOOC on Gamification: https://class.coursera.org/gamification-002/lecture
• Includes the trend towards ‘open badges’
Critical questions
• What are the advantages and issues, educationally, of the trend towards the ‘open’ and ‘sharing’ in technology?
• What might the future of the MOOC be? How might these types of courses work beyond the Higher Education sector?
