Elearning, Communication and Open-data: Massive Mobile, Ubiquitous and Open Learning

European project funded by European Commission in Competitiveness and innovation framework programme

22 PARTNERS – 6 COUNTRIEShttp://ecolearning.eu/

Elearning, Communication and Open-data: Massive Mobile, Ubiquitous and Open Learning

• The project will demonstrate the potential of OER and MOOC • to widen access to education and to improve the quality • for lowering or remove technological barriers in learning processes • for users with special needs or at risk of exclusion.

• The expected impact of ECO • create their own online courses and other open educational resources

and distribute them through the open learning platform • ECO pilots will pay special attention to training European teachers. • preparing certified teachers

• Use state-of-the-art technologies• merged MOOCs platforms (based on individual platforms and resources

provided by individual partners in the project), • the combined and cross-border piloting activities in all the hubs involved

in the project.

GOALS

Elearning, Communication and Open-data: Massive Mobile, Ubiquitous and Open Learning

Steps• Design Pedagogical Model

• Determinate Technical

Functionalities and platforms

• Create one portal

Final considerations

• ECO was defined as an extremely ambitious project

• An extremely motivated group of professionals has made it possible.

• ECO’s methodology has been based on a strong self-criticism spirit throughout the whole project in order to reach high quality results and overall project.

sMOOCs for All, All in sMOOCsIncorporation of new participants

with their own specificities

sMOOCs for All, All in sMOOCs – INCLUSION

To Integrate and participate in a sMOOC

Inclusion with innovation  

• Participant must feel – Welcome, – At the right place– Concerned– Understood

15

sMOOCs for All, All in sMOOCs – Inclusion• Welcome in new learning context

– MOOC Introduction, – Identification of MOOC actors (autors, facilitators…)– Get out hierarchy and previous pedagogical modelGet close

• Creation communities– Group creation– Discovery of other participants

=> Sense of community, similarity
