I want to talk about the MOOC of one. What I mean by that is I want to talk about the development of the MOOC or the Massive Open Online Course. I'm one of the people who designed the concept originally in 2008.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
"Even the MOOCs, the Massive Open Online Courses, that have followed the MOOCs that were developed by George Siemens and myself, the courses offered by Khan Academy, Coursera, Udacity, Udemy, and the rest are all based on the idea of some body of content. Is being one being the same? That's kind of a hard question. It's not even clear what I mean when I ask that. Let's take doctors. Does being a doctor mean having exactly the same knowledge as every other doctor? No."

¿Dónde estamos en julio de 2013? ¿Sigue el “ciclo de sobreexpectación” sobre los MOOC? O, si se cumple el modelo de Gartner, ¿ya nos adentramos en el “abismo de desilusión”? (Wikipedia: “Las tecnologías entran en el abismo de desilusión porque no se cumplen las expectativas. Estas tecnologías dejan de estar de moda y en consecuencia, por lo general la prensa abandona el tema.).

Massive open online courses are the educational happening of the moment. Everyone wants in. No one is quite sure what they’re getting into.
IN late September, as workers applied joint compound to new office walls, hoodie-clad colleagues who had just met were working together on deadline. Film editors, code-writing interns and “edX fellows” — grad students and postdocs versed in online education — were translating videotaped lectures into MOOCs, or massive open online courses. As if anyone needed reminding, a row of aqua Post-its gave the dates the courses would “go live.”
The MOOCs are also generating a massive amount of MOOC Resources: http://www.worldofwebcast.com/post/massive-list-of-mooc-resources-lit-and-literati
Creative Commons says MOOCs should be kept "Open" in a couple of senses: The original MOOCs…were “open” in two respects. First, they were open enrollment to students outside the hosting university. That is open as in “open registration.” Second, the materials of the course were licensed using Creative Commons licenses so their materials could be remixed and reused by others. That is open as in “open license.” Continue reading at: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/34852

Massive open online courses – MOOCs – offered by top universities have expanded worldwide over the last three years, gaining students globally for courses designed in the United States and elsewhere and disseminated globally on platforms like Coursera, edX and the British-based FutureLearn.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Many conventional MOOCs are developed and designed for Western teaching and learning experiences, says Auh, the lead project designer for MOOC 2.0. “But the general consensus here [among those working on MOOC 2.0] is that MOOCs education must be a collective effort from all parts of the world.”

Seguramente, a estas alturas, ya conoces qué es un MOOC (si no, mira este enlace), o incluso participas en alguno. Pero es posible que, además, te hayas planteado crear tu propio curso masivo. Si es tu caso, este post es para ti.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Observatorio MOOC propone una quizás excesivamente simple regla de 7 pasos para crear un MOOC de calidad.
Para realmente proponer un MOOC de calidad no tienes que elegir ninguna materia (paso 1) ni buscar un equipo de calidad (paso 2) ni crear un buen programa (paso 3). Realmente, si eres experto en ese campo... estos 3 pasos ya están dados.
No se puede pretender crear MOOCs de calidad como churros.

If this trend continues, then, students could soon be receiving the ultimate in personalised teaching, with unique lessons targeted exactly to their needs, motivations and learning style.

"When campus president Wallace Loh walked into Juan Uriagereka's office last August, he got right to the point. “We need courses for this thing — yesterday!” Uriagereka, associate provost for faculty affairs at the University of Maryland in College Park, knew exactly what his boss meant. Campus administrators around the world had been buzzing for months about massive open online courses, or MOOCs: Internet-based teaching programmes designed to handle thousands of students simultaneously, in part using the tactics of social-networking websites."

Will the impact of MOOCs make their way to the high school?

The Rise of the MOOC: The Future of Higher Education? Higher education is a sector that has thus far embraced – but arguably has not been fundamentally altered by – the growth of the Internet. This has been rapidly changing over the last few years with the rise of MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses; a way of learning that lets students participate on their own terms via the Internet. MOOCs have been embraced in a big way by elite universities and institutions, and are beginning to have a major impact on higher education. But are MOOCs really delivering quality access to education, or are they creating huge issues for the education sector? ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN aims to explore the issue in detail.
The MOOC prize is a very positive reason to contribute to the education of hte poorest. More on this topic: http://www.johnconnell.co.uk/blog/?p=3700

Pag 95 "UNA MIRADA HACIA LA EXCELENCIA DESDE LAS TICS"
por Luis A. Sanz, J. Carlos Aragón, J.R. Regueiro y A. Corell
Esta publicación contiene las diferentes contribuciones (ponencias, paneles, grupos de discusión, y comunicaciones) presentadas en el V Foro Internacional de Innovación Universitaria celebrado en Bogotá (Colombia). El tema del congreso refleja un contexto mundial en el que la multiculturalidad está presente como realidad viva y en muchos casos doliente, y para otros como realidad problemática.
En la publicación se recogen diversas experiencias y reflexiones sobre esta temática presentando buenas prácticas en los diferentes ejes tratados en este V foro: la dimensión curricular y pedagógica, la dimensión de la responsabilidad social universitaria, y la dimensión basada en la investigación y las Tecnologías aplicadas a la educación universitaria. Los tres ejes ya permanentes en el trabajo que viene desarrollando el FIIU, constatan la relevancia y las aportaciones sistemáticas que se vienen produciendo sobre los mismos, enriqueciendo las perspectivas que desde la visión de las universidades se están trabajando como objeto de estudio.
