MOOCs are currently a strong area of interest among Universities, Groups, Professors and the Society in general. Despite being born quite recently and having reached a likely peak in expectations, they keep a wealth of attraction on students all over the World. University academy has been taken somewhat by storm. Besides higher education-wide policies, practical ways to organize a MOOC and to actually enjoy it - besides being sustainable, must be leveraged. Our Group has recently tought an Moodle-based, online course (University of Barcelona) entitled "23 keys to organize a MOOC, to be successful and to actually enjoy it", with 30 registered students. During a month, eight modules were considered; a final project consisted in designing and planning an actual course.
IntroducJon
1. Find an enticing subject 2. Have an expertise on the contents 3. Think about tentative audience 4. Know regulations applying 5. Set your course within a broader project 6. Choose a suitable platform 7. Assign various Open Educational
Resources to each submodule 8. Reuse own existing resources and those
(open!) from others 9. Shoot short and sustainable videos 10. Take care of good sound and video
production 11. Assign each content to actual fulfillment of
competencies 12. Link resources to a clear learning path 13. Maintain tension and interest for the course
with challenges and rewards 14. Evaluate student progress with intention 15. Mix test, p2p and other tests in equilibrium 16. Use proactively social networks 17. Organize hangouts/Q&A sessions, and
discussions on the Net 18. Publish an attractive promotional videoclip 19. Create an interesting presentation video 20. Identify and use the most efficient
procedures for international marketing 21. Place surveys before, during and after the
course period 22. Make proposals for future improvement 23. Communicate publicly the innovations
brought about by the course
The actual course 1. Are MOOCs the idea closest to the
methodology in the Bologna Process? 2. Will MOOCs bring us to Teaching/learning
projects, like in Research? 3. Can each academic Group organize its own
MOOC and thus its own Teaching-Learning Unit?
4. Is the new role of the professor-teacher rather a facilitator, consultor, dynamizer, coach?
5. Are MOOCs a key element of internationalization?
6. Do MOOCs lead a teaching group to entrepreneurship?
7. Are MOOCs a new way to build bridges between University and its environment/society?
8. Do MOOCs allow to adapt rapidly to changing needs, and to respond to singularization opportunities?
9. Rather than "A Professor organizes a MOOC", should not face-to-face universities exhibit a strategy to use MOOC as an excuse and example to change teaching - and even change themselves?
10. Are we talking about virtualization of classroom teaching, or rather about devirtualization of online learning?
