MOOCs for universities

- MOOCs generate excitement and concern in the academic community:

How can MOOCs be integrated into university classes?

Does MOOC pedagogy and schedule fit the teaching practice?

- Our three steps endeavour

FH JOANNEUM cope14/15 MOOCs

BizMOOC project

Outlook on the integration

Cope14 / 15 MOOCs

- interdisciplinary team (ZML, Institute for International Management, 2 other institutes)

- hybrid MOOC combining a connectivist approach with a model for moderating online groups (structure!) and an emergent learning approach

- Facilitators & conveners – moderated learning process

- delivered twice

- evaluated

4


Seven principles of the cope MOOCs

- Openness: everybody can learn in an anonymous way (wordpress platform)

- Autonomy and Abundance: learners decide about their learning path & choose from an abundance of materials

- Networking: learners connect with other learners

- Visibility: visible learning activities (via comments)

- Continuity: to get the badge activities in at least 4 weeks

- Support: conveners help & motivate, make the common learning efforts visible in posts

- Challenge: learners are challenged by the MOOC as a whole and by advanced tasks during the weeks

Implementation in university

- integrate the cope MOOC into courses of different disciplines

- acknowledge student’s participation with 1 ECTS within a normal university course

- cope14

537 participants from 34 countries

15,4 % got a badge, but only 4 management students

- cope15

460 participants from 32 countries

65,7 % of the registered participants were active at the cope15 website by writing at least one comment

27,4% got a badge (42% of the active learners), 102 management students

What have we learned?

7

- Teachers who „let“ their students learn in a MOOC need to understand how a MOOC works => teachers should learn in MOOCs !

- Students need a clear framework /rules – then they appreciate an open learning approach „learned something new“ „got new insights“ „learned something unexpected“

- The conveners were perceived as very helpful and assisting.

BizMOOC project: investigation

Investigation of 50 European universities via qualitative, semi-structured interviews

- 90% of university representatives interviewed were familiar with the MOOC concept but only 20% have already offered/produced a MOOC (2016)

- MOOCs should be a complementary tool for courses or curricula

- Quality of MOOCs is an issue

- Recognition and language skills are perceived as barriers

- Largest disadvantage: low interaction level with teacher

Outlook

Teachers as learners in MOOCs

2. We will build an online course around this self-passed MOOC & support teachers in their learning process – Feb18

Our students in the MOOC

1. Using the concept for integration a MOOC into university we will invite students into the Intrapreneurship: Make your business great againMOOC – 6 weeks in 26. Feb-April 2018

2. Our great vision: we will build an intrapreneurship/entrepreneurship MOOC for all our students from 6 departments using materials, concepts and ideas of the BizMOOCs and the AtLTyc MOOC (another project where we are building a MOOC for athletes)
