We don’t need no educator : The role of the teacher in today’s online education [All Presentations] We don’t need no educator : The role of the teacher in today’s online education February 15, 2013 Keynote presentation delivered to Utdanningskonferansen 2013, Bergen, Norway. This presentation, delivered in Bergen, Norway, describes the changing nature of online learning with the introduction of massive open online courses, and in that context describes and explains the changing roles of the educator. [Slides] [Audio] [Conference Link] What is the impact of Open Access and MOOCs on Publishing and Higher Education? In a new article out today in SAGE Open titled “Open Access, Megajournals, and MOOCs: On the Political Economy of Academic Unbundling,” Dr. Richard Wellen of York University discusses the impact of the development of open academic content output through open access publishing and MOOCs. Intrigued by his study, we decided to ask him and the editor of his study, Dr. Stephen Pinfield a few questions. Here is what they had to say: This article addresses MOOCs and open access. Dr. Dr. The open access scholarship movement is often connected to the moral argument that the public which funds the research ought to have access to it. In the case of MOOCs on the other hand, academic unbundling and the outsourcing of teaching has already brought a disruptive tension between the market and the academic commons. 2. Dr. Dr. It is also surprising that so little has been written connecting different Open agendas. 3. Dr. Dr. 4. Dr. Dr. 5. Dr.
Why Give Knowledge Away for Free? The Case for Open Educational Resources "At the moment the OER movement is taking its first steps beyond a culture focused around "my site" towards a culture that is focused around "our commons." Most people who create OER sites have a sense of who they expect their users to be and what needs those users have. This is all to the good, if it is not to the exclusion of those users whose needs--or innovations--we have totally failed to imagine." Towards a Global Learning Commons An apparently extraordinary trend is emerging. Higher education is facing a number of challenges: globalisation, an aging society, growing competition between higher educational institutions both nationally and internationally, and rapid technological development. OER are a fascinating technological development and, potentially, a major educational tool. OER projects can expand access to learning for everyone, but most of all, for non-traditional groups of students. What are OER? Who is Using and Producing OER? Figure 1: Categories of OER Providers
VISIOCONFERENCES MASTER AIGEME 12 13 | Les lundis du M@ster Open educational resources Open educational resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes. Although some people consider the use of an open file format to be an essential characteristic of OER, this is not a universally acknowledged requirement. The development and promotion of open educational resources is often motivated by a desire to curb the commodification of knowledge[1] and provide an alternate or enhanced educational paradigm.[2] Defining the scope and nature of open educational resources[edit] The above definitions expose some of the tensions that exist with OER: At the same time, these definitions also share some universal commonalities, namely they all: cover both use and reuse, repurposing, and modification of the resources;include free use for educational purposes by teachers and learnersencompass all types of digital media.[10] History[edit] Licensing and types of OER[edit] OER policy[edit]

La formation en ligne est là pour rester et croître, spécialement en éducation post-secondaire. Sir John Daniels prédit une transformation importante des universités. Dans ce vidéo de 7 minutes, Sir John Daniels démontre que l’industrialisation de l’éducation, avec les avantages indéniables coté qualité et économie d’échelle, fait en sorte que le secteur privé est en train de s’accaparer l’éducation en ligne à moins que le secteur public cesse de privilégier le modèle artisanal et commence à travailler en équipe et avec des spécialisations de fonctions et le souci du «client». Si on ajoute de plus l’utilisation des ressources ouvertes, où il est possible de produire et de profiter de ressources de qualité gratuitement, on s’aperçoit que des changements profonds se préparent en éducation post-secondaire. Ainsi plutôt que de réexpliquer le principe la roue, on utilise le matériel déjà produit et s’attaque à un nouveau pan de connaissance qui s’ajoutera à la masse de contenus de qualité.

Cours à distance : qu’en pensent vraiment les étudiants ? Cette recherche s’effectue en collaboration avec Christine Félix, maîtresse de conférences à l’Université d’Aix-Marseille et Pierre-Alain Filippi, enseignant et chercheur associé à l’INSPé d’Aix-Marseille. Depuis le 30 octobre 2020, dans le contexte de cette deuxième période de confinement, les étudiants français sont contraints de suivre un enseignement à distance. Cette situation donne lieu à des réactions contrastées, associant éloge de la capacité d’adaptation des universités et critique du maintien de ce mode d’enseignement. Les médias se font l’écho de souffrances chez les étudiants. Suite à l’annonce de l’exécutif d’une reprise des cours en présentiel en février, la Conférence des Présidents d’Université a fait part de son incompréhension face à cette décision et a lancé un appel pour mettre un terme à ce distanciel contraint le plus tôt possible, insistant également sur les difficultés rencontrées par les étudiants, et particulièrement ceux inscrits en première année de licence.
