---+ Online Learning and MOOCs ---+++ Working meeting: Thurs Nov. 29, 3:30pm-5:00pm *What do we want to achieve?* I'd be interested in hearing about: (a) status quo on Coursera courses (b) status quo on UBC tech & admin support for online courses (if any) (c) reasons for and against investing heavily in online courses -- Main.MichielVanDePanne - 01 Oct 2012 all of the above. -- Main.KevinLeytonBrown - 03 Oct 2012 Given the interest in the topic, we (Anne, Gregor, Raymond, Michiel and I) have arranged a working meeting on Online Learning to be held Thu., Nov. 29, 3:30pm-5:00pm in X836. (It's in the CS events calendar - mark yours: https://www.cs.ubc.ca/news-events/calendar/2012-11-29 By online learning we mean the full spectrum from simply uploading our lectures, putting them on YouTube on the UBC CS channel, through the flipped classroom to the full-on MOOC experience (making and using same). There have been many recent developments we could discuss. Another reason for doing this is simply that the topic cuts across many of our committee mandates. I count seven with a finger in the pie: Program Experience, Science Education Initiative, Teaching and Learning Services, Communications, Space and Safety, Faculty Affairs and Computing. So there's a need for communication, coordination and for some mandate engineering. Do we need a single forum? What should that be? How should we coordinate? Do we need more transparency? What support is available? Where is this all going? ..... We'll need to decide what we want to achieve in this meeting and how to structure it. To that end Michiel has created a twiki page where you can leave suggestions as to what *you* want to get out of this meeting: https://bugs.cs.ubc.ca/cgi-bin/twiki/logon/Faculty/OnlineLearning And we encourage people to discuss the topic *there*. We can start the conversation at the Brown Bag lunch tomorrow. This should get it going: http://www.technologyreview.com/featured-story/429376/the-crisis-in-higher-education/ -- Main.AlanMackworth - 04 Oct 2012 Good article on the Canadian angle: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/time-to-lead/building-open-learning-platforms-in-canada/article4595536/ -- Main.AlanMackworth - 08 Oct 2012 %COMMENT{type="threadmode"}%
