There are a number of MOOC platforms and each works slightly different from the other. Certain MOOCs partner with institutions, for example Coursera and EdX.Coursera: A for-profit company founded by two computer-science professors from Stanford. The model is to sign contracts with colleges (Princeton, U of Virginia, University of Michigan) that agree to use the platform to offer free courses. There are over 200 courses with 2 million enrolled students.EdX: A nonprofit effort run jointly by MIT, Harvard, and Berkeley. EdX plans to give away software platform to offer free courses (so anyone can use it to run online courses). A smaller effort with 23 courses and 500,000 students.

How far Will MOOCs go?There is a lot of hype and no one is quite sure what impact they will have on the future of education.

MOOCs can potentially disrupt the traditional educational landscape.

Find ways to satisfy employers

Learning and identity issues

How far will MOOCs go?

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

Cant just record a lecture and put it online

First question concerns what constitutes success

Become self-sustaining whilst delivering a quality education valued by students and employers?

HOW?

Components: four big partsLearning goal and meaning of the Flipped Classroom needs to be shared with. Online sources are shared. To be viewed/understood (cfr homework/reflection computer available?)In-class: groupwork, focus on content, understanding, difficulties, project. Peer and teacher feedback.Evaluation of the process by all.

ProcessUse video and sources from othersRecord your own video or audio/slides Ask students to locate sourcesLet students make online sources (for others)



What?

What is microlecture?A focused lecture delivered in ONE minute.Brief Sharable online.

What can we do with micro-lecturesGive your learners a brief overview of the content with key concepts.Demonstrate a single problem solving procedure or give a step-by-step instruction. Make attractive introduction to a learning topic and its objectives with personal touch and thus raise awareness and curiosity of your learners.

Why micro-lectures?

Time visualization multi-platform a great variety of devices

Why microlectures?

How?

How to Create a One-Minute LectureStep #1: List the key concepts you are trying to convey in the 60-minute lecture. That series of phrases will form the core of your microlecture.

How to Create a One-Minute LectureStep #2: Write a 15 to 30-second introduction and conclusion. They will provide context for your key concepts.

How to Create a One-Minute LectureStep #3: Record these three elements using a microphone and Web camera The finished product should be 60 seconds to three minutes long.

How to Create a One-Minute LectureStep #4: Design an assignment to follow the lecture that will direct students to readings or activities that allow them to explore the key concepts. Combined with a written assignment, that should allow students to learn the material.

How to Create a One-Minute LectureStep #5: Upload the video and assignment to your course-management software.

Towards Blended Learning

DefinitionBlended learning systems combine face-to-face instruction with computer-mediated instruction.Combining delivery mediaCombining instructional methodsCombining on-line and F2F instruction

Thank you a great deal!

Bird Flu (Avian Influenza)

All viruses, including influenza, must invade living cells in order to reproduce. If both a human influenza virus and an avian influenza virus enter the same cell, they may randomly trade genetic material. This process, known as reassortment, gives rise to new viruses that resemble both the human and avian strains.
