Intégration de plateformes de cours en ligne dans les cursus : la taille critique atteinte par endroits Depuis quelques billets, je vous parle de digitalisation au sein de mon établissement d’exercice. Nous menons à Cergy des expérimentations avec Datacamp, où nos étudiants se sont inscrits à une plateforme de cours complets, assez riche, qui permet de se former à différentes techniques dans des langages de programmation comme R ou Python. En parallèle, j’ai exploré un peu l’offre de Coursera Campus à l’occasion de la réflexion sur le confinement, qui permet d’avoir accès, pour des sommes équivalentes, à des offres de cours dans des disciplines variées. En d’autres termes, comme je le disais l’autre fois, ces plateformes permettent plus ou moins, enfin, de tenir la promesse initiale des MOOC.
La question est : à quel prix ? Continue reading Pourquoi l’on ne peut pas « cartographier » l’esprit des apprenants grâce aux learning analytics Continue reading Continue reading Continue reading.
Le MOOC 2013 - Paris - Mai 2013. 2012 Histoire des moocs. Part 5 of my Top Ed-Tech Trends of 2012 series The Year of the MOOC Massive Open Online Courses. MOOCs. This was, without a doubt, the most important and talked-about trend in education technology this year. And oh man, did we talk about it.

In retrospect, it’s not surprising that 2012 was dominated by MOOCs as the trend started to really pick up in late 2011 with the huge enrollment in the three computer science courses that Stanford offered for free online during the Fall semester, along with the announcement of MITx in December.
Who cares what Cormier thinks and predicts? January: Googler and Stanford professor (and professor for the university’s massive AI class) Sebastian Thrun announces he’s leaving Stanford to launch Udacity, his own online learning startup. WIKI - Massive open online course. Education service on the web Poster, entitled "MOOC, every letter is negotiable", exploring the meaning of the words "massive open online course" A massive open online course (MOOC ) or an open online course is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the Web.[1] In addition to traditional course materials, such as filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets, many MOOCs provide interactive courses with user forums or social media discussions to support community interactions among students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs), as well as immediate feedback to quick quizzes and assignments.
MOOCs are a widely researched development in distance education,[2] first introduced in 2008,[3] that emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012, a year called the "Year of the MOOC".[4][5][6] History[edit] What is a MOOC?

The Professors Behind the MOOC Hype - Technology. Dave Chidley for The Chronicle Paul Gries, of the U. of Toronto, has taught MOOCs on computer science. By Steve Kolowich What is it like to teach 10,000 or more students at once, and does it really work? The largest-ever survey of professors who have taught MOOCs, or massive open online courses, shows that the process is time-consuming, but, according to the instructors, often successful.
Nearly half of the professors felt their online courses were as rigorous academically as the versions they taught in the classroom. The survey, conducted by The Chronicle, attempted to reach every professor who has taught a MOOC. Hype around these new free online courses has grown louder and louder since a few professors at Stanford University drew hundreds of thousands of students to online computer-science courses in 2011. Princeton University's Robert Sedgewick is one of them. Like many professors at top-ranked institutions, Mr. It paid off. Why They MOOC Mr. But it might also be good for him. Mr. Mr. Early demographic data - who takes moocs? Massive open online courses, or MOOCs, are popular.
This much we know. But as investors and higher ed prognosticators squint into their crystal balls for hints of what this popularity could portend for the rest of higher education, two crucial questions remains largely unanswered: Who are these students, and what do they want? Some early inquiries into this by two major MOOC providers offer a few hints. Coursera, a company started by two Stanford University professors, originated with a course called Machine Learning, which co-founder Andrew Ng taught last fall to a virtual classroom of 104,000 students. Coursera surveyed a sample of those students to find out, among other things, their education and work backgrounds and why they decided to take the course. Among 14,045 students in the Machine Learning course who responded to a demographic survey, half were professionals who currently held jobs in the tech industry.
Many were enrolled in some kind of traditional postsecondary education.
