Open as in door or open as in heart? #mooc A note on the end of Steve Carson’s post about MOOCs and the liberal arts prompted a brief conversation about the two different meanings of “MOOC” with Brandon Muramatsu. Steve’s original post drew (based on his conversation with Brandon) a distinction between the Edx/Coursera/Udacity “MOOCs” and the Change11/ds106/wileyMOOC “MOOCs” – he suggested using MOCs as a description of the former (as they are not, in the strictest sense, open). But Brandon felt, on reflection, that the real distinction concerned how massive the courses were.
How Should Your University Respond to edX? The first thing we should all do is encourage discussion about edX. This is big, important,and exciting news. Faculty get excited about ideas, and the edX announcement contained some great ones. Connecting massively online open education to research into effective pedagogy and use of digital technology for all learners (including face-to-face and blended) is very exciting. The press release notes that: "MIT and Harvard will use the jointly operated edX platform to research how students learn and how technologies can facilitate effective teaching both on-campus and online.
Centre for Educational Technology The OER UCT project, currently run in the Centre for Educational Technology at UCT with the support of the Shuttleworth Foundation, aims to showcase the teaching efforts of UCT academics by encouraging the publication of resources as OER.

Open Education, OpenCourseWare and Student Mobility - OpenCourseWare Europe Posted on 28/05/13 Tags: opencourseware , open education , wp3 , survey , student mobility Do the OCW EU Student Mobility survey! OpenCourseWare has had a profound influence on the way students learn, by making high-quality learning materials available through popular search engines. It has meant, e.g. that students can compare their course with the one from MIT on the same subject, but also, that they can often explore beforehand how a particular university engages a subject, stimulating student exchange. With this survey, we want to explore how students perceive Open Education in relation to student mobility.
