With Technology Day
A Flash Massive Open Online Course
(Flash MOOC) is a learning and
teaching experience which draws it
spontaneity, it connectedness and it
outcomes from both the idea of a
“Flash Meeting” and the idea of a
“MOOC”.

The SAICTED Research Project
"Managing ICTs in South African Education" is a three-year

University of Technology (CPUT). The project is examining
the ways in which technology contributes to South African
education, at all levels of education and at all points in the
processes of education. It is a partnership between CPUT,
the University of Cape Town and the University of Limpopo.

Recommendation
Should be reduced to 4 hours or less
Should be done with a strong topic focus
Participants should have a vested interest
in the topic
Participants should have some relevant
prior knowledge
Would need more experiments to get it
better
