FQ3: a 3rd Fundamental Question
sMOOChing:
Facilitating the most effective integration of MOOCs and similar new
resources into undergraduate programs of colleges and universities that are NOT
producing or hosting the MOOCs. And thereby increase the variety,
quality, and quantity of undergraduate instruction available to students
and alumni.
FQ3:
3rd Fundamental Question:
How can
we help people learn from an available information resource?
[NEW info resource: like a MOOC?]
[OLD info resource: like a book?]
·
More, better, faster, easier, ...?
·
Without the participation of the author/publisher/lecturer?
·
Without the awareness of the author/publisher/lecturer?
·
Without the permission of the author/publisher/lecturer?
Deep
Background
New
technologies almost always enable the production of new information resources
much sooner than humanity can figure out how to use them for educational
purposes.
Entrepreneurs
and innovators outside of education almost always figure out how to begin using
the new resources before educators do.
Independent
self-motivated learners almost always figure out how to begin using the new
resources before teachers and other professional educators do.
Some of
the better ways of using the new resources may not emerge for a long time - may
wait until some people begin thinking in new ways, perceiving new kinds of
possibilities for using them.
TLT
Group's Roles
In the
TLT Group's online activities during the past several years, especially in
FridayLive!, we have developed some practices and roles that both improve the
quality of the sessions and the sense of community for those who participate
often.
·
Voice of the Chat (VoC)
·
Extermission
·
DIIGO project
·
Designated Learner
·
sMOOChers cohort's foci: content, method, roles
I
believe that we could adapt these valuable roles and practices to enhance the
educational benefits of rapidly emerging new resources like MOOCs, especially
for learners who are NOT affiliated with the institutions that are
producing and hosting the MOOCs et al.
Local
Facilitators
Those
who take on some of the roles listed above and other roles to be developed for
helping undergraduates learn more effectively from MOOCs and similar resources
integrated with undergraduate courses.
Potential
"local facilitators" of undergraduate learning via MOOCs and similar
resources include: faculty (full-time, part-time, current, retired) and other
academic professionals, current undergraduates and graduate students, alumni.
NOTE:
Login instructions for the session will be sent in
the Registration Confirmation Email. Please check your Junk folder as sometimes
these emails get trapped there. We will also send an additional login reminder
