Notas del editor
- I work primarily in Higher education – with universities
- I won’t be spending anytime today providing a background or history of MOOCs – there isn’t time and I suspect you know much about it already. Instead, I want to do two things…
- Difference between early MOOCs and current generation of high profile MOOCs:This is an important thing to remember – the current version of MOOCs are not necessarily about teaching and learning per se., but rather about how you can disrupt the current educational business model. These are venture capital funded businesses – we shouldn’t forget that!
- An interesting flipping of the value-proposition for the institution – the money’s in the reputation of the institution and having that on the certificate. It’s not necessarily about students paying for exceptional teaching and learning, for example.
- Why not with libraries? Too complex? If you were going to start a library from scratch today you wouldn’t import all the legacy processes and inefficient systems with you – so nor do the MOOCs. Provides similar benefits, and disadvantages to those experienced through closed eco-systems like Apple: better UX, for example.
- Data – Data – Data!The provision of support – from the tutor to the content and resources disappears. Instead, in its place grows a learning platform that itself delivers the resources required and attunes itself to your needs and requirements.

- The content is often there as I need it – I don’t need to leave my ‘space’ – either physical or online. It is also possible that the platform as it learns more about me can tailor that content to me: It knows I study best in short bursts so it recommends only small amounts of reading at a time.
- I am just going to choose three interesting future roles for the library in online teaching and learning.
- This is about rethinking the delivery of resources and development of digital literacies for learners. We need to remove the liason role from the print paradigm, to one where information is consumed in an entirely new way. Think of social media experts in companies and organisations. You might be curating links of twitter, for example. A bridge between the physical and the virtual, between the departments and the online teaching and learning provision. Ensuring that the online content has pedagogical value and that it is delivered in an appropriate way – which might mean it is broken up and dismembered, for example.
- Data isn’t something new to libraries – but we’re starting to really understand its value and do some interesting things with it!
