Open Yale Courses - Yale University - VideoLectures Open Yale Courses provides free and open access to a selection of introductory courses taught by distinguished teachers and scholars at Yale University. The aim of the project is to expand access to educational materials for all who wish to learn. Open Yale Courses reflects the values of a liberal arts education. Yale's philosophy of teaching and learning begins with the aim of training a broadly based, highly disciplined intellect without specifying in advance how that intellect will be used. This approach goes beyond the acquisition of facts and concepts to cultivate skills and habits of rigorous, independent thought: the ability to analyze, to ask the next question, and to begin the search for an answer. We hope the lectures and other course materials on this site will be a resource for critical thinking, creative imagination, and intellectual exploration.

Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard: Opening Harvard Research Le Mooc à deux voix et quatre mains | Le Blog de Tété Enyon La rédaction de cet article est née de l’idée de confronter deux expériences d’apprentissage à distance dans deux dispositifs de Massive Online Open Course (traduction : cours en ligne ouvert et massivement distribué) : le cours « Managing Election Campaigns » de la Peer 2 Peer University et le cours « Connectivism and Connective Knowledge 2011 » de Stephen Dowes et George Siemens, offert en partenariat avec l’Université de Manitoba. Ces deux cours ont en commun d’être délivrés exclusivement en anglais et d’accueillir une cohorte multiculturelle et multilingue d’apprenants. Le cours consacré à la gestion des campagnes électorales s’est étendu sur six semaines, celui sur le connectivisme s’achève prochainement et aura duré 12 semaines.

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?
