STRUCTURE ILLUSTRATING MOOCS

HISTORY OF MOOCS• It started earlier in the 1728 by Caleb Phillips, the teacher who

introduced the method of Short Hand, in use of mailed lesson to the students

• The very rapid growing in 1930’s of student engaging in radio lessons led to proposals to use it for long distance educationAt many universities in the 1980s classrooms were linked to a remote campus to provide closed-circuit video access for some students

DIAGRAM SHOWING THE CONNECTISM AND KNOWLEDGE

THE AIM OF MOOCS IN CONNECTIVE KNOWLEDGE

• Aim of mooc’s is a mode of delivering education and instruction, often on an individual basis, to students who are not physically present in a traditional setting such as a classroom. Distance learning provides "access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance.

• It also aim on the effective and efficiency use of education with the relevant information connecting all the people from different areas (diversity learning)

DISADVANTAGES OF MOOCS

• It’s impossible to facilitate meaningful conversation in a classroom with thousands students. There are electronic alternatives. Message boards and chat rooms, but the intimacy of face-to-face communication is lost, emotions often misunderstood. This is a particular challenge for humanities courses

MY CONCLUSION ABOUT THE MOOCS

• I think that MOOC’s are the future tool of education because the participants number is increasing every year and increased options for accessibility, increased potential for student engagement, and expanded lifelong learning opportunities.

• However to some it is bad, to some it is part of everyday life; to everyone it is all in how you approach MOOCs

• To me MOOCs offer the opportunity to fit education into your life
