Lessons from MOOCs and schMOOCs

Date: March 21, 2014

Time: 2:00-3:00 PM ET.

Presenters: Steve Gilbert and Beth Dailey, John Sener

free to all

Description:

How can those who offer MOOCs/SCHMOOCs/MOOCOWs:

Identify, fulfill, and shape participants' expectations?
Generate, accommodate, and make an asset of a "massive" group of participants?

We will debrief the latest 7 Futures schMOOC experience as well as MOOCs in general. What we are learning about MOOCs and how does this influence design and our participation as a learners?

Topics to be addressed:

Offering various learning paths
The role of the Designated Learner
How do or should we define success?
Should we offer a certificate?
