MOOCs fit in with what we have learned simply because their delivery is online.   Many MOOCs allow for interaction between students and instructors.  I feel that a MOOC can provide constructivism and connectivism but that depends on the mode of information that is provided.  If I watch a show on television, I feel less like … Continue reading MOOCs →

I am still struggling with MOOCs or the idea of them.  This could be because I am still struggling to let go of the idea of a full-fledged face-to-face classroom and all of the benefits it brings which out weighs online learning.  Through the reading, it seems, MOOCs offer little interaction between teacher and student … Continue reading MOOC (Fleisher) →

While MOOCs are online courses, I do not feel that they meet the requirements of the courses we have been learning to design.  I do not think they belong as a CREDIT course in the K-12 environment, but I could see them being used as an enrichment option for some of our more mature students … Continue reading MOOCs! →

I’m honestly not sure that MOOCs have a place in what we’ve discussed through out the course of the semester beyond the fact that they are a form of digital/online learning.  While I understand the point off MOOCs and the possible benefits they offer, I don’t see much of a correlation between the structured, motivating, … Continue reading MOOCS →

How do MOOCs fit in what we have learned so far?  I have to say I am personally fascinated by the possibility of exploring MOOC’s…

My initial reaction, at the beginning of the course when we were first exposed to MOOCs, was that these courses offer a means of providing lifelong learning opportunities with access to experts in their respective fields. As with much of what we have researched pertaining to online education I find that MOOCs are designed for … Continue reading What to do with MOOCs? Hmm…… →

  After reading through the articles, I’ve become a bit pessimistic about the idea of MOOCs.  When I first heard of MOOCs (at the beginning of this course) I was very intrigued by the idea.  Cost effective for both students and schools sounds pretty good, right?  Also, the opportunity to interact with students and field … Continue reading MOOCs – McQuiddy →

  I looked back at the blog I posted at the end of September on MOOCs. I was having a hard time understanding how this type of learning would be possible in my classroom because I couldn’t quite “wrap my head around it”. Those were the words I actually used. I believe my confusion was … Continue reading MOOCs and ME : Not So Fast →

MOOC – Massive Open Online Course… and they do mean massive! I could not believe the size of some of the courses. But if only about 4% of students complete the course how can they be considered successful?  I can see how they would appeal to self-regulated learners, adults and college level students.  I can … Continue reading MOOC →

I have taken a MOOC.  It was offered by Stanford and was entitled “How to Learn Math”.  The instructor was Dr. Jo Boaler.  I took it because Jo Boaler is a “rock star” in math education right now and it … Continue reading →
