Key Characteristics of MOOC: How Do They Impact Learning

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are dedicated to large-scale interaction and engagement. These courses belong to the section of distance learning (DL). These have evolved from traditional learning to a modern synergetic environment. Moreover, a MOOC is a basic element of knowledge transfer and transparent communication.

Distance learning brought along several attributes to online learning. One of the key characteristics of MOOCs is the interactive user forums and discussion groups. These forums and discussion groups help build a community for online learners, professionals, educators, consultants, and assistants. MOOC is the recent development in distance learning. These massive open online courses are based on efficiency and give 100 students access to an online class of one professor.

The lectures, assessments, tests, assignments, and evaluations for a course and the professor’s expertise behind the content are not inexpensive and are not unique to a specific university in several instances. In this article, we have tried to throw some light on the characteristics of MOOCs and their impact on learning.

Important characteristics of MOOCs

MOOCs are available for everyone. These are free and are usually provided by the most trusted and eminent institutions. These online courses emit certain specific characteristics. So without further ado, let’s take a deep dive into the characteristics of MOOCs.

MOOCs Use Web Formats

MOOCs heavily depend on web formats and there can be different types of MOOCs depending on the web formats. Most of the video content that is streamed, simulates the presence of a trainer. MOOCs also use live streams to build a virtual classroom. Sometimes, the online trainer can organize live sessions with the students using tools like Ustream or Hangouts. This is an opportunity for the students to get in touch with the trainer, ask questions and clear their queries.

Synergetic Learning

MOOCs can easily create an in-class environment that includes the use of collaborative tools. These open courses support the emergence of learning communities and offer a hybrid distribution of knowledge. Every participant can contribute to this and enrich the course. Q&A forums, social media groups, meetups, are used to encourage a synergetic learning environment.

Knowledge Assessment

In addition to the content designed to convey information, MOOCs also offer tools to assess the smooth transfer and knowledge retention. These online courses offer a dynamic and interactive environment in the form of multiple-choice questions, essays, programmed tests, and fun-filled quizzes. Apart from that, MOOCs also offer certificates to the learners who complete the courses.

Time Limits & Deadlines

Time limitations and deadlines are the final characteristics of MOOCs. These online courses have specified start and end dates. The course content such as documents, videos, exercises, quizzes, essays, and MCQs (multiple choice questions) is delivered every week. The courseware is spread overtime for the learners. It is also an effective means to ensure that these courses are just like the traditional courses with weekly classes and home assignments.

MOOCs have drastically changed the online education industry. This is opening doors to new learning opportunities, discussion methodologies, and a brighter future for modern learners. We have checked out the characteristics of MOOC and how it is different from a traditional classroom environment which brings us to a question. How does it affect learning? Let’s walk you through it!

How MOOCs Impact Learning

We have seen how MOOCs work and what characteristics they have. Now let’s check how the different characteristics of MOOCs impact modern learning.

Heightened Educational Hype Around Digital Future

Decades ago, our teaching top-level administrations engaged with questions and issues about higher education in a digital environment. Today, those debates and conversations only populate the strategy documents, campaign materials and streamline the information exchange between students, professors, and administrative staff daily. Technology is constantly evolving and so is online education. This has created a huge hype around the future of digital education.

New Horizon For The Enthusiasts

Research holds a very special place at the universities and institutions and MOOCs have always helped the faculty and teaching staff focus on the teaching and learning practices. The faculty creating MOOCs often have experience in deep research, understanding of the course design, and learning. MOOCs pave the way for experimenting with blended learning and help the faculty and course creators witness a new horizon of education.

Team-based Courseware

Creating MOOCs requires the content curators and designers to collaborate in ways keeping in mind the changing modern education. The domain experts and SMEs team up with designers, researchers, software developers, and videographers to create each module of a particular MOOC. This not only allows each person to contribute their expertise but also increases room for discussion.

New Dimension For Experimentation

There are several challenges and obstacles to creating MOOCs including extended decision-making and shared governance. These issues slow down the institutions to implement change. Researchers and online learning enthusiasts have found that the organizational structures designed around MOOCs provide ample space for experimentation. This allows the content curators to implement new changes and innovation in learning.

Final Verdict

Down the road, the hype around MOOCs may be dying but its momentum is still paving the way for increased experimentation with thoughtful and innovative ideas for higher education. The Digital era is changing the way modern learners interact with each other which is quite useful when it comes to collaborative learning. Hope you now know how important MOOCs have become in the digital learning space.

We Don’t Need To Worry About Overfitting Anymore Author(s): Sean Benhur J Machine LearningWe Don’t Need To Worry About Overfitting AnymorePhoto by Mohamed Nohassi on UnsplashMotivated by prior work connecting the geometry of the loss landscape and generalization, we introduce a novel, effective procedure for instead simulta- neously minimizing loss value and loss sharpness. In particular, our procedure, Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM), seeks parameters that lie in neighbor- hoods having uniformly low loss; this formulation results in a min-max optimiza- tion problem on which gradient descent can be performed efficiently. We present empirical results showing that SAM improves model generalization across a variety of benchmark datasets[1]Source: Sharpness Awareness #MachineLearning #ML #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #DataScience #DeepLearning #Technology #Programming #News #Research #MLOps #EnterpriseAI #TowardsAI #Coding #Programming #Dev #SoftwareEngineering https://bit.ly/3n2d8Fu #machinelearning

FLIP IT FORWARD

WELCOME

FLIP IT FORWARD IS A FUTURE-MAKING AND ACTION RESEARCH PROJECT, CO-DESIGNING WITH EDUCATORS, SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS TO CREATE

SOCIAL DREAMS

*

HOW MIGHT SOCIAL AND CULTURAL NORMS SHIFT IN THE FACE OF CHANGE?

As old structures around us collapse, social dreaming is the key skill that young people will need in order to imagine and build a new society

SOCIAL DREAMING | DOWNLOAD

In a context of accelerated change, learning should not be limited to 'downloading' information from books. Students cannot comprehend how to go forward without understanding the past - and they only look at the past with a sense of action if they get a sense of the future. Hence, developing agency in building what's next.

1. FUTURE-MAKING

The

emerging future

*

is the starting point for meaningful change in learningWatch an interview with design professor Elliott Montgomery on the challenges and possibilities of future-making as a learning lens in education

2. CONSTRUCTION OF MEANING

Meaning-making*

is the social-emotional process behind learningWe position meaning-making at the heart of real-world learning

3. SOCIAL AGENCY

Including

design iterations*

of action and

critical reflectionIs the student or teacher someone

with agency who is able to construct reality?

INQUIRING BACKWARDSknowledge comes from a process of inquiry(an act of investigation). By inquiring backward students learn how to find meaning and relevance in past experiences and how to bridge those with their present

“This has been creatively difficult.”

INSTRUCTION BOOKLET

INQUIRING FORWARD

The uncertainty of the future becomes the very possibility to imagine it. Inquiring forward is about stretching the students' ability to create future scenarios. This is not about predicting the future but giving students vision spaces - that are then used to frame their decisions and actions today

“This is for me a transformation tool because it allows students to look into the future and be a part of co-creating it.”

NEXT FUTURESTo speculate is about building alternative scenarios either for the future or the past. This allows students not to rely solely on 'futures' that have been given to them but rather to engage and actively create futures they want. By placing speculation in a learning space, our hypothesis is that teachers can start to see the gifts that students embody and enable their capacity to build new narratives

“Being speculative comes from a level of being able to navigate through the intuitive within oneself in comparison to only taking external cues. Just because a student does not learn in one format, it does not mean he or she is incapable. The act of being speculative about the future allows one to develop the capability of giving permission, which involves claiming and reclaiming.”

HOW  The speculative approach can be used by the teacher to allow students to move from a problem-solving mindset into a dreaming, imagining, co-creative space. However It does not mean that students will be 'predicting' or 'making a bet' on the future. It is not about who gets it right. 1.building speculative maps to explore a question in its full possibilities - the map is an exercise to let go of deep held beliefs and opinions and be explorative 2.creating multiple scenarios - building possibilities, hence not one but many futures are built 3.speculating across time - speculations do not need only to be about the future, they can also be about the past and hence allow students to explore historical events with new lenses - asking questions such as 'what was the context taking place at the time of this event? what if this had happened instead of that? is there a chance this event could be seen in our present or future?'

“It is about instilling in young people the criticality that the futures we have been given are not the futures we can dream of – because someone has already framed them and built a narrative. Hence, they have been constructed.”

OUTCOMES

CREATIVITY & IMAGINATION: speculating alternative futures and pasts is not about 'problem-solving' but rather about opening spaces for imagination so students can think & see differently

MEANING-MAKING: when students can envision different futures or engage with the past there's tremendous creation of meaning - which leads to further engagement with their learning process and social agency

RELEVANT ACTION: once students understand new roles they can play in creating futures they want, they are better prepared to take relevant action in the world

CELEBRATE FAILURE & SUCCESS: understanding the future (and the past) as an act of creation reduces dramatically the nature of fear and the notion that there’s no fundamental thing called failure

 PROTOTYPING THE NEXTIn learning for acting in the world it is essential students imagine what's next for issues and problems they are working on and create concepts & prototypes - it is about taking action with critical reflection while understanding their implications in the world

“We created a drone that delivers learning materials to students in rural areas so they can explore open-ended problems”

HOW  In supporting students prototype the next, make it clear they understand it is not about a journey from "here" to "there" (present to future) but  the recognition of a new point of reference for thinking - from which everything else emanates 1. consolidating insights collected from going to the edges of the system or from future/past speculations - insights help students establish a relationship of cause and effect 2. developing intentions mean translating the insights (learnings) into actionable ideas 3. building prototypes includes tinkering through features and clustering them to create more robust concepts as well as rounds of iterations in which students take their concepts to be tested in the real world

OUTCOMES

SOCIAL AGENCY: by creating prototypes and implementing ideas students understand the obstacles and benefits of taking relevant action in the world

CRITICAL THINKING: when implementation happens students can see and think upon the impact of their action and hence develop critical thinking

REAL WORLD LEARNING: students get the opportunity to think through problems and issues in multi disciplinary ways and understand through experience its direct impact in the real world

DO YOU WISH TO EXPLORE FURTHER?We partner with schools, organizations and governments to co-create programs, tools and experiences that can leverage our education system to its next level

PROGRAMSCo-creating programs with school leaders, teachers and students to build the system's capacity to be generative in preparing young people to address the 21st century challengesTOOLSDesigning physical learning tools and spaces that students and teachers can integrate into the curriculum, allowing more expansive and imaginative opportunities for learningEXPERIENCESProviding applied learning opportunities through experience design while linking classroom curriculum content with its possibilities for application in the real world
