Liberate Education: How to Start a Free School This how-to guide was written for Shareable by organizers (especially Aaron Rosenblum) from EXCOtc, a collective of Experimental Colleges in the Twin Cities of Minnesota that share a visions of a better world, offering free and open classes, and building a community around education for social change. EXCO-TC began eight years ago and is now made up of three collaborating local organizing chapters: Macalester/St. Paul, the U of M, and the Academia Communitaria. The Free Schooling Movement The origin of free schools (or free skools) in the United States can be traced back to 1911 when the first Modern School opened in New York City’s Lower East Side. Inspired by the work of Francesco Ferrer and La Escuela Moderna in Catalonia, Spain, a group of NYC-based anarchists opened their school embracing an alternative learning model for youth and adults based on academic freedom, democratic organization, and socially conscious education.

MOOC: comment choisir sa plate-forme? A moins que vous n’enseigniez dans un établissements prestigieux, vous pouvez d’ores et déjà faire une croix sur Coursera ou edX. Vous aurez beau être le meilleur pédagogue du monde, cela n’y changera pas grand chose car les plates-formes américaines sont avant tout dans une logique de marketing. Coursera et à plus forte raison edX cherchent à se construire une image de marque, et la pédagogie n’est pas leur première préoccupation (tout au moins pour Coursera). Ceci dit, cela n’engage à rien de contacter ces plates-formes: Daphne Koller, la fondatrice de Coursera, s’est fait une spécialité d’apprendre à refuser poliment ce genre de demande. Des établissements français réputés se sont déjà heurtés à des refus catégoriques. Si cela peut servir de consolation, Coursera a de grands défauts, comme le fait de devenir propriétaire des contenus postés au même titre que l’enseignant. Nous sommes restés jusqu’à présent dans une approche LMS très orientée xMOOC.
