2. Agenda
• Set a time table for work to be completed on our
end within the due dates below.
• Dates that were given to us
• Beta launch date is June 23, 2014
• First half of content is due to Canvas by March 26
• Final half of content is due to Canvas by April 16
• Evaluate the current content, which is now in
CCD’s D2L
• What to keep, delete or contextualize
• Discard content not needed
• Contextualize concepts for Advanced Manufacturing
•
What concepts need contextualizing specifically for our needs

4. Typical MOOC registrant
Average student:
• lurks in the first MOOC registered, usually doesn’t complete the
MOOC
• predominately male
• currently employed; in this country
• they’re also older than you might expect.
• Far more enrollees view them as a diversion than they do as a
means to a college degree or a new job
• Typically have a 2 or 4 year degree
• Only allots 2-3 hours per week in 15 to 20 minute increments
• Only completes 1 out of 4 MOOCs registered in
• To take advantage of a MOOC
• requires sufficient schooling to be able to follow college-level material,
consistent access to the Web, reliable internet

5. MOOC Design
Design for a course running 4-7 weeks
• Cannot build the MOOC like an online course.
• Must be designed for mobile devices
• Compact Content with video length less than 3 minutes
• Total time on task is 30 minutes including practice drills.
Each learning “chunk” contains
• Context-grabbing the students interest as well as provide relevance to
material
• Challenge- create small packages of learning which can be completed in 15
to 20 minutes
• Activity-showing that they understand the content
• Feedback-can be personal or automatic.

6. Evaluate the
current content
What needs added, deleted, and contextualized

7. Technical Math
• Canvas has requested us to change title and refine course
description to appeal to a broader audience.
• Ideas on a “new” name
• Career Math was suggested
• My concern was could this name be confused with MAT107 for our
students?
• Description
• Covers material designed for career technical or general
studies students who need to study particular mathematical
topics. Topics may include measurement, algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, graphs, and/or finance.

8. Critical Evaluation of
content
Focus of this MOOC is not on teaching MAT108 competencies but:
• Use as a tool to enable a student to “refresh” their knowledge
of concepts to test out of MAT108
• Can be used as a supplemental resource to refer a struggling
student to brush up on needed math skills
• Think of content as “just in time” –what is the essential
skill/knowledge does the Advance Machining student need in
regards to the 17 competencies?
• Do we really need everything in Numbers, Conversions and
Measurements?
• Conversions, Whole Numbers, Fractions, Decimals, Integers, Rational
Numbers, Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal numbers, metric system

9. Contextualized Content Should
represent
• Development teams
• Machining (CCD, FRCC, PPCC, PCC)
• Welding (CCD, LCC)
• Engineering Graphics (PPCC, AIMS, CCD, Metro)
• Electro-Mechanical (PCC, Metro)
Cohorts and Leads
• Electro-Mechanical--TBD
• Engineering Graphics—TBD
• EGT, ELT, MAC—Michelle Koster, PPCC
• CAD, MTE—Rick Glesnor, CCD
• AED, AAA, CIS, CHE, EIC, ENY, GEY, HIS, MAN, MAT, PHY, PRO, WEL, WTG--John Mangin, Bruce
Beardsly, AimsCC
• MET—Devi Kalla, MSU
• Machining—George Newman, FRCC and Tony Rubino, CCD
• Welding—Alyssa Ruiz—EGTC

10. If you have Material or
Ideas….
• But have too much on your plate…
• Send the material or ideas to brenda.perea@cccs.edu and I
will present them to the MOOC group.

11. Badges

12. Completion Certificate
• Yes!
• What is acceptable?
• Completing all modules?
• Completing at 70%
Badges for skill attainment?
• Do we want badges for all modules?
• Or identify what skills are high priority, backwards design
those skills to a competency, and award badge for
competency?
