• A MOOC is not resources in a platform
Steve Kolowich Chronicle of Higher
Education 18/03/2013
•MOOCs require a full
redesign of the contents
•MOOCs enhance the quality
of local teaching
Y. Epelboin UPMC-Sorbonne Universités TERENA June 2013
A young technology
• « One course = one platform » Charles Severance, Indiana University
• Virtualization
• Virtual distributed platform (cloud) to sustain the
load
• Open source :
– Canvas : Ubuntu (Debian, MacOS?)
– edX : Xblock, just released (MIT)
– Class2go (Stanford) (Python, Django)
– Coursebuilder (Google)(Django)
– OpenMOOC (Spain)(Python, Django)
– Sakai CLE (Apereo fundation, Java)
– Claroline Connect (to come)

MOOC economy in Europe
• TORC: Tiny Online Restricted Courses
– Also TORQUE
– Also SOOC
• A flipped model of learning in universities:
– Replacement of the traditional lecture
– Self assessments
– Accompaniment through face to face small classes
• From TORC to MOOC:
– Same offer but no accompaniment
– Certification?

MOOCs actors
• Decision in the hands of the stakeholders:
– Universities
– Ministries of Higher Education
– Universities National organizations (UCISA, LADOK, AMUE…)
• Choices:
– Merging in existing consortia (Coursera, Canvas…)
– Universities consortia (LERU, EUA…)
– National consortia
– Role of NREN?
• Go-between:
• TERENA (networking, platforms?)
• EUNIS (local IS organizations)
• EADTU and others (teachers)…
Y. Epelboin UPMC-Sorbonne Universités TERENA June 2013
2025 horizon?
• Major industrial companies: Google, Microsoft…
• Survival of universities
– In the USA : • Standardized curricula under pressures to reduce costs and prices.
– In Europe : • Concurrency between universities and education business
