A l’origine du MOOC

Un MOOC sur Technologies de l’apprentissage

« Connectivism and Connective Knowledge » (2008)

George Siemens and Stephen Downes ushering roughly 1900 students through a 12 week online course

Offered through the University of Manitoba◦ 12 weeks long◦ credit in Certificate in Adult and Continuing Education and

Certificate in Emerging Technologies for Learning ◦ will explore the concepts of connectivism and connective

knowledge

“At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks.”http://halfanhour.blogspot.com/2007/02/what-connectivism-is.html

edX MOOC Software Goes Open Source

Non-profit massive open online course startup is open sourcing the software for building interactive course modules.

Educational 'Technology' Across the AgesThe non-profit pioneer in the phenomenon of massive open online courses (MOOCs) is releasing a core element of its platform for offering online courses as open-source software. On Thursday, edX announced it was releasing the source code to its XBlock software on GitHub under the Affero General Public License, a GPL variant designed for network server software. This is a first step toward open sourcing the entire edX software platform. Already a MOOC sensation, edX offers courses from leading universities for free, with many of the supporting textbooks and other materials published as open educational resources. Now, edX is opening up access to the software used to create interactive learning tools like the circuit simulator in its popular Circuits and Electronics course and the molecular manipulator in Introduction to Biology – The Secret of Life.

CONTENUS « OPEN » ?

Plateformes

1. Course Builder by Google: Thanks to some commenters on this post, the course builder by Google was brought to my attention. This platform contains software and instructions for presenting your materials. You can organize the material into lessons, activities, and tests. Additionally, there are instructions for using other Google products (surprise, surprise) to create a community and to evaluate effectiveness. While this all sounds well and good, make sure you have a grasp of HTML and JavaScript if you choose this solution.2. Open MOOC: I find the name of this one to be rather redundant, considering MOOCs is an acronym that contains the word “open” … but jokes aside, it’s a good option for setting up your MOOC offering. The software enables you to add video and have discussions in a built in forum. Content can be access online from a desktop, tablet, or smartphone. They even have a badges system. Some downsides are that it does require some technical skills to get going, and it doesn’t allow for integration of social networks. Also, the quizzes are quite limiting (multiple choice only) and look kind of amateur.3. Miriada: For all our Spanish speakers, this is the choice for you (the best one that I am aware of anyhow). Perhaps there is another one though that I am missing – feel free to comment if so. One major downside: it’s only for universities in the “Universia network”.4. Future Learn: This one is wrapped in mystery as it’s not quite available, but thought I would include it on this list in case you were interested in signing up for their mailing list. Biggest downside (other than not being available) is that it is only for leading UK universities.5. LearnDash: You may be surprised to know that LearnDash can be used quite easily for your MOOC. One benefit compared to the others is the amount of customization you can give in regards to the look and feel of your site given the large variety of WordPress templates available. Another major advantage are dynamic quizzes with any question type you can imagine. In fairness, a natural downside is that there is some learning curve if you have never used WordPress before (but luckily WordPress is very well documented)!

OUTILS (hors MOODLE)

ANNEXES

Quelques principes de base …1. Diversity

We want to encourage students to engage in diverse readings, diverse environments, diverse discussions

2. Autonomy

We want students to chart their own course, to select their own software, to pursue their own learning

Quelques principes de base …

3. Interaction / Connectedness

The knowledge in this course emerges as a result of the connections among the students and staff – and is not some ‘content’ shoveled from experts to recipients

Quelques principes de base …

4. Openness

We don’t drawe barriers between ‘in’ and ‘out’ – which means we can accommodate the full engaged, the partially engaged, and the rest – creating strong ties and weak ties
