A Practical Response to Massive
Open Online Courses (MOOCs)
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
11:00 - 11:45 a.m. Central (convert
your time zone)
If you haven’t heard the hype about MOOCs (Massive Open Online
Courses), you soon will.
These free classes are only offered online and they’re wide open
to anyone who wants to sign up. Some of the biggest brands in academia
have announced impressive MOOC plans, and a few superstar instructors
have jumped in with both feet. Skeptics call MOOCs outliers, but most
people agree that whatever happens, MOOCs will make an impact on the
way we teach both students and adult learners in the future.
So what does this trend mean for you, your faculty and your campus?
Join our live webinar, hosted by Casey Green of The Campus Computing
Project, to participate in a lively discussion on how to take advantage
of the MOOC buzz to get your own courses online, right now.
Our panel will discuss:
- Where do MOOCs fit in the larger online
learning ecosystem?
- What impact will MOOCs, flipped and hybrid
classes have on traditional, synchronous face to face education?
- Can the MOOC model help unlock the online
teaching potential for every instructor on your campus right now?
- How does online instruction and video
knowledge fit
into the personal learning environment of your existing students? And
how will it be captured, distributed and delivered in a post-MOOC world?
