[global hr forum 2014] mooc, flipped learning, and k-mooc
DESCRIPTION
As the industrial society is giving way to the new era of creative economy, the first challenge that Korea's education faces today is fostering creative talent. The second challenge is reforming the existing high-cost, low-efficiency education model. As the lifecycle of knowledge is becoming ever shorter, the importance of lifelong education is emerging and more emphasis is being put on creative thinking and problem-solving ability over rote learning. That is why the education model needs to keep up with the changes by transforming itself from the previous model of cramming that highly depended on teachers to student-centered and active learning. The New York Times named the year of 2013 as “The Year of the MOOC” following MOOC’s explosive growth, providing quality education for all, wherever they are, at low cost or for free. Witnessing the skyrocketing growth of the MOOC in the US, countries around the world started to develop their own MOOC. For example, edX and Coursera were born in the US, while the UK developed its own FutureLearn. Meanwhile, France and China have decided to use the edX platform by establishing partnership with the US. We will discuss the future direction and strategy to develop Korea’s own K-MOOC, which includes lifelong and higher education, by observing changes in the global trend.TRANSCRIPT

Making colleges more exclusive and exacerbate educational inequalities
Creation of a few “super professors”
Hype in The New York Times:

Statistics (U. Penn research)
On average, only about half of those who registered for a
course ever viewed a lecture,
and only about 4 percent completed it.
About 80 percent of those taking the university’s MOOCs
had already earned a degree of some kind.
Many of them in North America

Criticism on MOOC

The rise of MOOCs has sparked and encouraged
experimentation in teaching and in pedagogical research,
benefiting both teachers and students.
New tools, they contend, give faculty more flexibility and
offer novel opportunities to run experiments and gather
data.
Likewise, online learning platforms put students in the
driver’s seat, allowing an individual to engage in a manner
that best suits his or her needs.
