The Internet is the ultimate learning tool. The fact that its reach extends around the globe at no cost makes it possible for anyone to learn from and participate in thousands of online classes available through massive online open courses (MOOCs).
New Web Portal, Supported Through Partnership With Leading Chinese Internet Company NetEase, to Create Localized Experience | Virtual Strategy Magazine is an online publication devoted entirely to virtualization technologies.
The Open University has begun offering courses on the international portal Massive Open Online Courses, also known as MOOCs, which was initiated in the US and offers fully accessible online courses in various disciplines from universities around the world, this week.
Universities should be able to take lectures or other course material and make it available online for student consumption anytime, anywhere and on any device. But, it’s not just about distributing course content – it’s about creating the same kind of social experience in a virtual world as the student might experience in a traditional classroom.
Effective online learning takes more than just putting up some videos and articles. It requires incremental improvement of a skill over time.
With online education, you don’t have to go to MIT to learn from one of MIT’s top professors. You don’t have to spend six figures or four years to get knowledge applicable to the career of your choosing. Education can continue all your life, if you like.
A few weeks ago we published a list of websites covering all aspects of Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs), Open Courseware (OCW), and general open education resources, and the response was amazing. This is an incredibly important topic, and it is growing rapidly as the value of advanced education increases, and the technologies for distributing it get more advanced.
The first massive open online course, or MOOC, launched in September 2008 at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. Via the Web, anyone could attend the class on learning theory, and 2,300 people signed up. MOOCs quickly took off. In 2011, a Stanford University class on artificial intelligence enrolled 160,000, inspiring one of the instructors to found the MOOC start-up Udacity.
Blended Learning. A huge buzzword in the recent past, right? We’re hearing a lot about online learning, MOOCs, and lots of different devices in our classrooms, but I haven’t seen a lot on just how popular bridging the virtual and in-person learning models are. In many ways, this mixing of in-person and virtual interaction in our classrooms is inevitable as teaching and schools become more flush with technology. It’s way more than adding a cart full of iPads or laptops to a classroom, too.
