Join us for the Educause Learning Initiative (ELI) Spring Focus Session: “Learning and the Massive Online Course” on Wednesday, April 3 and Thursday, April 4 from noon until 5 PM each day in Dawson 117.
Over the past year, the massive open online course (MOOC) has emerged as a significantly different course model. But how robust is the MOOC as a vehicle for learning? In this focus session, through presentations and discussions, the ELI will explore the MOOC and its viability as a new learning model. Topics will include:
- The MOOC instructional/learning model and how to support faculty teaching in it;
- Quality assurance mechanisms, accreditation, and analytics;
- Instructional design challenges and opportunities;
- Student evaluation, assessment, and academic integrity; and
- The future of higher education and the MOOC.
See the draft schedule for more information on the sessions to be offered.
I am sure many campus community members will want to attend this informative and interactive event.
I hope to see you there!
