DESCRIPTION
Over the past year, the massive open online course (MOOC) has emerged as a significantly different course model. So, what we have learned about the MOOC and its potential to support learning? In this session I’ll review examples of how the MOOC is being utilized along with several related issues: implementation and deployment approaches; student success data; MOOC innovations; financial models; connections to traditional programs; and future developments.

Research Directions: Gates Foundation
§ Drive scaled adoption of MOOCs for intro and remedial learning content and competencies, for low-income young adults, and in the blended format
§ Research use cases, efficacy, and cost savings of MOOC implementations
§ Drive evolution of MOOC conversations and MOOC platforms toward higher quality, improved pedagogy, and improved authoring/integration support
Research Questions
§ What data needs to be captured and how open will it be for the advancement of learning?
§ What are the purposes and designs of different types of MOOCs?
§ Related to the above, what are the various instructional models?
§ For which students, courses, and contexts are MOOCs effective and where are they not?
§ How rich and deep is the learning with MOOCs – e.g., knowledge transfer vs. connectivism, deeper learning outcomes?
Research Questions
§ Which components drive impact for our target learners and what additional supports need to be added online or face-to-face?
§ What is the faculty role, time commitments, and work conditions versus face-to-face and traditional online? Which faculty are well suited?
§ What are the costs and barriers for development? Local customization? Implementation?
§ How can MOOCs serve broader goals of both students and institutions?
