Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type of
educational materials that are in the public domain
or introduced with an open license. The nature of
these open materials means that anyone can legally
and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them.
OERs range from textbooks to curricula, syllabi,
lecture notes, assignments, tests, projects, audio,
video and animation.
5. Openness in MOOC factors

•From home
•flexible way and at
the pace of each

• Materials are free
and available
• Many students

10. DESIGNING MOOC-Plan
• The duration of the course.
• The time each student will spend.
• The work pace of students: number of sessions,
number of hours per week
• The structure of the contents.
• Learning activities.
• Monitoring and evaluation.
• Decide on communication tools with students.
• Take into account the globality of students.
• Take account of time zones.
• Progressive rhythm of publication of the units: one
every week or all at the same time.

Teaching Resources
Anything that has utility for a particular class.
12. Resources
• Videos of the different lessons. It is recommended
that the duration of each video is between 10 and 15
minutes.
• Documents of the presentation of each video
• Self-assessment questionnaires and exercises to
check your progress
•Final exam
• The structure is also composed of communication
tools: advertisements and news, forums, wiki, social
networks
Research: Learning analytics
Gamification
13. Questionnaires (Quizzes):
• useful automated system for evaluating
thousands of participants.
• formative evaluation
• Students can check their level of understanding
of the content of the videos
• It can be used as cumulative evaluation at the
end of the modules
Resources for assessment.
14. Peer review
• incorporates evaluation system and solve the
problem of correction (many students) by the
teacher
• Most often, each participant values the work of three
other colleagues (It depends on total number of
participants)
• Very important to have clear instructions on what has
to be valued and a good rubrics. Since most students
will not be experts in the subject instructions have to
be simple.
Resources for assessment.
15. Resources for accreditation
certificates- Evaluation
• How to demonstrate that the person to whom
the certificate is delivered is the person who
has taken the course?
• The "Typing Style" model
• Webcam photo
• Once registered and identified by a
photograph showing the national identity
document

19. REALIA
are objects from real life used
in classroom instruction by educators
to improve students' understanding of
other cultures and real life situations
20. Virtual Realia
• three-dimensional models can be displayed
through projection or on computer screens
• Digitized objects and items from the target culture
which are brought into the classroom as examples
or aids and used to stimulate spoken or written
language production
• Realia consists of cultural artifacts as well as
teaching aids that facilitate the simulation of
experience in the target culture
• Realia break down geographic barriers and thus
provide insights into the target culture.

22. Fundamentals of online Learning
Example.
• The instructor made it clear that small group
discussions would be important to the class,
and she asked the 41,000 participants to split
up into groups of 20 by signing up on a Google
Docs spreadsheet.
• Unfortunately, a Google spreadsheet can
handle a maximum of 50 simultaneous
editors, and the spreadsheet crashed because
of the volume
25. Massification leads to unidirectional, teacher-
centered and content-based communicative design,
with serious problems in dealing with individual
differences and a tendency towards knowledge
standardization
Pedagogical issues
26. Criticism is focused on the lack of dynamism in
and the lack of personalization
Pedagogical issues
27. Openness
One strength MOOCs are open to students of all
backgrounds - there is no barrier to joining the
MOOC, many classes are at the introductory level,
and prerequisites for more advanced classes are
not enforced.
This is also a weakness with the MOOC model.
One reason is that it is then more difficult to
teach advanced topics to a potentially wide range
of students and backgrounds.
28. Drop out
• Several investigations agree that MOOCs have a
high dropout rate that is usually more
pronounced in the first weeks of delivery. On
average, drop-out rates are estimated to range
from 75% to 95%
• Few data are available yet, but an initial study by
Katy Jordan of Open University on the dropout
rate yields more than enough data to claim only
10% on average completes all proposed activities
32. COLABORATIVE LEARNING
