What is a MOOC?
The term MOOC was coined by Dave Cormier or
Bryan Alexander (Alexander, 2008; Cormier,
2008; Daniel, 2012; Masters & Qaboos, 2011; G.
Siemens, 2012a) to describe a course on
Connectivism (CCK08) organized by George
Siemens and Stephen Downers in 2008, which
attracted 2,200 participants (Downes, 2010).
What is a MOOC?
Massive
 Student numbers can be 100,000 +
Open
 Study any course, anywhere at any time
Online
 As opposed to face-to-face or blended
Course
 Learning units in an academic subject
Why Offer a MOOC?
MOOCs can profile an
institution as a
leading 21st Century
educational
institution.
MOOC
MOOCs may well be a
“game changer” with
respect to how education
is delivered and
consumed and
institutions need to be in
the MOOC space to
experience delivering
education in this way and
to remain current with
educational practices.
MOOCs provide an
opportunity for an
institution to
experiment with
teaching practices
and to engage with
new pedagogical
approaches.
Institutions have a range
of subject areas that are
specific to their region
e.g. HK SAR / China
context and HKU can
showcase these subjects
through offering MOOC
courses.
An institution can
make knowledge
more accessible to
the general public
through offering a
range of MOOCs.
MOOCs in Context
 The history of introducing technologies into teaching
and learning has been one of over promise and under
delivery (Daniel, 2012; Reiser, 2001).
 Already seen the failure of two significant online
ventures – Fathom from Columbia University and
ALLLearn backed by Oxford, Stanford, Yale and
Princeton (Knight, 2012).
 Technologies will only be successfully integrated into
teaching and learning when teachers change the way
that they teach (Zemsky & Massy, 2004).
MOOCs in Context
 Although we have seen different teaching models (King,
1993; McWilliam, 2008; George Siemens, 2005), wholesale
changes in teaching approaches have not come about and,
as we shall see, they are not occurring to any particular
degree with MOOCs.
 We need to move beyond the use of technologies for the
purposes of information transmission.
 There has been progress in this area but too often we still
see the Learning Management System – the enterprise tool
of choice – used poorly for teaching and learning (Beer,
Jones, & Clark, 2009; Browne, Jenkins, & Walker, 2006;
Malikowski, 2011).
Teaching Must Come First
 The United Kingdom’s Open University Vice
Chancellor recognizes (Coughlan, 2012a) that teaching
quality is a key issue that bears upon the ultimate
success of any particular MOOC provider.
 Worth listening
 It is easy to get into the OU but very difficult to come
out the other side with a qualification.
 The OU is self sustaining, provides a quality
education valued by employers and has solved the
student identity issue for examination purposes.
Three Key MOOC Questions
 In terms of the success of any particular MOOC we can
focus on three key questions that will bear upon their
ultimate success:
 What are the pedagogies that underpin the MOOC?
 What use is being made of technologies in the
MOOC?
 What is the underlying philosophy / ethos of the
MOOC?
 The majority of MOOCs are offered through MOOC
platforms and so these are organizational questions.
cMOOCs
 The first MOOC ever offered was a
cMOOC.
 Based on a Connectivist Learning Theory
 Knowledge / content is generated by
teachers, students and multiple others.
 Multiple technologies – 12 in this first
MOOC – are used to connect people
participating in the course.
 On the fringes but cutting edge in terms of
pedagogy and technologies
sMOOCs
Coursera MOOCs could be characterized as a Standard
MOOCs or an sMOOC.
 Founded in the fall of 2011 by Daphne Koller (Stanford)
and Andrew Ng (Stanford) and was launched in April
2012 after significant venture capital funding was
secured (MarketWire, 2012).
 As of 4th April 2013 Coursera has 62 university partners
and had registered over 3.5 million users enrolled in
over 300 courses in 20 categories (Coursera, 2013a;
Protalinksi, 2013a).
sMOOCs
 Grounded in behaviorist learning theory
with some cognitive components and
some constructivist components.
 This means transmission style teaching
with drill and practice, problem sets and
e.g. discussion forums.
 Uses a limited range of technologies and
could be thought of in terms of LMS as
platform.
 Very much in the mainstream with
monetization a key component.
sMOOCs
 There is a lack of pedagogical focus which may have to
do with the fact that Coursera institutions consider
MOOCs to be a side line activity rather than a way to
explore new / better teaching and learning models
(Armstrong, 2012; Daniel, 2012).
 The three key questions have been answered and
sMOOCs have been characterized as “lacking” in a
number of ways.
 There are always exceptions (Knox et al., 2012).
xMOOCs
 edX could be characterized as an
xMOOC.
 the X signifying excellence, external
outreach, exploration, experimentation
and expansion (Rodrick & Sun, 2012) –
holds for edX which has grown out of a
tradition of exploring online teaching and
learning (Daniel, 2012).
 MIT announced MITx at the end of 2011
for a launch in spring 2012. MITx has
now morphed into edX with the addition
of Harvard and UC Berkeley (EdX, 2012).
xMOOCs
 edX is not for profit (EdX, 2012)
and has been financed to the tune
of US$ 60 million through
participating institutions and
through “gifts” from Harvard and
MIT alumni (EdX, 2012).
 As of November 2012 edX had
370,000 students (Coursera had
1.7 million at the same point in time)
(Pappano, 2012).
xMOOCs
 edX
 At the time of writing edX has 33 courses (edX,
2013a) offered by HarvardX, MITx and BerkeleyX.
 Beginning in fall 2013, edX will offer courses from
another 11 universities. In 2014, edX will expand
further through offering courses from an additional 9
universities (edX, 2013b).
 Much more selective than Coursera and will cap
when they have recruited the best universities in the
world.
 edX is making statements about courses designed
specifically for the web (De Luzuriaga, 2012).
xMOOCs
 edX
 Aspirational statements about “creating new online
learning experiences” and about researching “how
students learn and how technology can transform
learning–both on-campus and worldwide” (EdX, 2013;
Rodrick & Sun, 2012).
 Commitment in these areas with edX collaborating
with Cengage Learning for content creation
(IStockAnalyst, 2012).
xMOOCs
 edX
 Overall, edX conceives of their MOOCs as providing
the potential for educational research that will
improve both the on campus and off campus
experience (“Classroom in the Cloud,” 2012; de
Luzuriaga, 2012; Lin, 2012).
 Underlying pedagogies / technologies may not be
that different at the moment but there seems to be an
ongoing commitment to quality content creation /
exploring technologies for effective teaching.
Will MOOCs Succeed?
 There is a lot of hype and no one is quite sure what
impact they will have on the future of education
(Regalado, 2012; Webley, 2012).
 That said, MOOCs are much talked about and
researchers along with the more popular press
certainly understand MOOCs as potentially disrupting
the traditional educational landscape (Rodrick & Sun,
2012).

Will MOOCs Succeed?
Will have to
find ways to
monetize
This is
possible and
Coursera is
already doing
it
Teachers will
have to
change the
way that they
teach
Can’t just
record a

  • 1. Everything You Need to Know About MOOCs
  • 2. Overview Why Offer a MOOC?2 Three Key MOOC Questions4 What is a MOOC?31 MOOCs in Context33 The Different Types of MOOC35 Will MOOCs “Succeed”?6
  • 3. What is a MOOC? The term MOOC was coined by Dave Cormier or Bryan Alexander (Alexander, 2008; Cormier, 2008; Daniel, 2012; Masters & Qaboos, 2011; G. Siemens, 2012a) to describe a course on Connectivism (CCK08) organized by George Siemens and Stephen Downers in 2008, which attracted 2,200 participants (Downes, 2010).
  • 4. What is a MOOC? Massive  Student numbers can be 100,000 + Open  Study any course, anywhere at any time Online  As opposed to face-to-face or blended Course  Learning units in an academic subject
  • 5. Why Offer a MOOC? MOOCs can profile an institution as a leading 21st Century educational institution. MOOC MOOCs may well be a “game changer” with respect to how education is delivered and consumed and institutions need to be in the MOOC space to experience delivering education in this way and to remain current with educational practices. MOOCs provide an opportunity for an institution to experiment with teaching practices and to engage with new pedagogical approaches. Institutions have a range of subject areas that are specific to their region e.g. HK SAR / China context and HKU can showcase these subjects through offering MOOC courses. An institution can make knowledge more accessible to the general public through offering a range of MOOCs.
  • 6. MOOCs in Context  The history of introducing technologies into teaching and learning has been one of over promise and under delivery (Daniel, 2012; Reiser, 2001).  Already seen the failure of two significant online ventures – Fathom from Columbia University and ALLLearn backed by Oxford, Stanford, Yale and Princeton (Knight, 2012).  Technologies will only be successfully integrated into teaching and learning when teachers change the way that they teach (Zemsky & Massy, 2004).
  • 7. MOOCs in Context  Although we have seen different teaching models (King, 1993; McWilliam, 2008; George Siemens, 2005), wholesale changes in teaching approaches have not come about and, as we shall see, they are not occurring to any particular degree with MOOCs.  We need to move beyond the use of technologies for the purposes of information transmission.  There has been progress in this area but too often we still see the Learning Management System – the enterprise tool of choice – used poorly for teaching and learning (Beer, Jones, & Clark, 2009; Browne, Jenkins, & Walker, 2006; Malikowski, 2011).
  • 8. Teaching Must Come First  The United Kingdom’s Open University Vice Chancellor recognizes (Coughlan, 2012a) that teaching quality is a key issue that bears upon the ultimate success of any particular MOOC provider.  Worth listening  It is easy to get into the OU but very difficult to come out the other side with a qualification.  The OU is self sustaining, provides a quality education valued by employers and has solved the student identity issue for examination purposes.
  • 9. Three Key MOOC Questions  In terms of the success of any particular MOOC we can focus on three key questions that will bear upon their ultimate success:  What are the pedagogies that underpin the MOOC?  What use is being made of technologies in the MOOC?  What is the underlying philosophy / ethos of the MOOC?  The majority of MOOCs are offered through MOOC platforms and so these are organizational questions.
  • 10. cMOOCs  The first MOOC ever offered was a cMOOC.  Based on a Connectivist Learning Theory  Knowledge / content is generated by teachers, students and multiple others.  Multiple technologies – 12 in this first MOOC – are used to connect people participating in the course.  On the fringes but cutting edge in terms of pedagogy and technologies
  • 11. sMOOCs Coursera MOOCs could be characterized as a Standard MOOCs or an sMOOC.  Founded in the fall of 2011 by Daphne Koller (Stanford) and Andrew Ng (Stanford) and was launched in April 2012 after significant venture capital funding was secured (MarketWire, 2012).  As of 4th April 2013 Coursera has 62 university partners and had registered over 3.5 million users enrolled in over 300 courses in 20 categories (Coursera, 2013a; Protalinksi, 2013a).
  • 12. sMOOCs  Grounded in behaviorist learning theory with some cognitive components and some constructivist components.  This means transmission style teaching with drill and practice, problem sets and e.g. discussion forums.  Uses a limited range of technologies and could be thought of in terms of LMS as platform.  Very much in the mainstream with monetization a key component.
  • 13. sMOOCs  There is a lack of pedagogical focus which may have to do with the fact that Coursera institutions consider MOOCs to be a side line activity rather than a way to explore new / better teaching and learning models (Armstrong, 2012; Daniel, 2012).  The three key questions have been answered and sMOOCs have been characterized as “lacking” in a number of ways.  There are always exceptions (Knox et al., 2012).
  • 14. xMOOCs  edX could be characterized as an xMOOC.  the X signifying excellence, external outreach, exploration, experimentation and expansion (Rodrick & Sun, 2012) – holds for edX which has grown out of a tradition of exploring online teaching and learning (Daniel, 2012).  MIT announced MITx at the end of 2011 for a launch in spring 2012. MITx has now morphed into edX with the addition of Harvard and UC Berkeley (EdX, 2012).
  • 15. xMOOCs  edX is not for profit (EdX, 2012) and has been financed to the tune of US$ 60 million through participating institutions and through “gifts” from Harvard and MIT alumni (EdX, 2012).  As of November 2012 edX had 370,000 students (Coursera had 1.7 million at the same point in time) (Pappano, 2012).
  • 16. xMOOCs  edX  At the time of writing edX has 33 courses (edX, 2013a) offered by HarvardX, MITx and BerkeleyX.  Beginning in fall 2013, edX will offer courses from another 11 universities. In 2014, edX will expand further through offering courses from an additional 9 universities (edX, 2013b).  Much more selective than Coursera and will cap when they have recruited the best universities in the world.  edX is making statements about courses designed specifically for the web (De Luzuriaga, 2012).
  • 17. xMOOCs  edX  Aspirational statements about “creating new online learning experiences” and about researching “how students learn and how technology can transform learning–both on-campus and worldwide” (EdX, 2013; Rodrick & Sun, 2012).  Commitment in these areas with edX collaborating with Cengage Learning for content creation (IStockAnalyst, 2012).
  • 18. xMOOCs  edX  Overall, edX conceives of their MOOCs as providing the potential for educational research that will improve both the on campus and off campus experience (“Classroom in the Cloud,” 2012; de Luzuriaga, 2012; Lin, 2012).  Underlying pedagogies / technologies may not be that different at the moment but there seems to be an ongoing commitment to quality content creation / exploring technologies for effective teaching.
  • 19. Will MOOCs Succeed?  There is a lot of hype and no one is quite sure what impact they will have on the future of education (Regalado, 2012; Webley, 2012).  That said, MOOCs are much talked about and researchers along with the more popular press certainly understand MOOCs as potentially disrupting the traditional educational landscape (Rodrick & Sun, 2012).
