The presentation slides for my talk at the 2nd Blended Learning Symposium on 28 November 2013 at UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur. The talk first focuses on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and how they will play a critical role in triggering Higher Education institutions around the world to accelerate the urgency to innovate their learning and teaching models. The second half of the talk will focus on how we can transform the students’ learning experiences using a blended approach infusing Flipped Classroom, Brain-Designed learning, Gamification, more authentic assessment methods, etc.

2008 ‘CCK08’ and other open courses ‘MOOC’ term coined

2011 Stanford University’s Fall Class attracts 160,000+

MOOC History: Milestones

MOOC Example?

STANFORD UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENT

Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig offered a "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" course online to anyone, for free. A few weeks later, over

160,000 students in more than 190 countries enrolled in their first class.

https://www.ai-class.com/

More Importantly…

23,000 students passed! (253 got perfect scores)

410 online students outperformed the top Stanford student!

Students were teaching students (Q&A online forum with voting system).

Students themselves translated the class for free from English into 44 languages.

Then Sebastian Thrun Left

Stanford University and co-founded Udacity…

http://www.udacity.com/

Is a for-profit educational organization founded by…

Udacity’s Mission is to

Bring accessible, affordable, engaging, and highly effective higher education to the world.

In-person tutorials for MOOCs?

"We think humans and in-person interaction must be part of the future of education."

http://www.coursepods.org/

MOOCs: Interaction, Feedback & Assessment?

Adapted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course

Approaches Examples

1. Crowd-sourced interaction &feedback

• Peer-review Assignments (peer-grading)• Forums• Group collaboration (Wikis)• Blogs (assignments)• Micro-blogging (Twitter)• Facebook & Google+ (Discussion/Group Work)• RSS feeds (aggregation)• Other Social Media/Web 2.0 tools.

2. Automated feedback

• Quizzes • Exams (Mid-term, final, etc.)• Auto-corrected simulations• Etc.

10 Reasons Why MOOC Students Quit…

1. Takes too Much Time2. Assumes Too Much Knowledge3. Too Basic, Not Really at the Level of Stanford, Oxford

and MIT4. Lecture Fatigue5. Poor Course Design6. Clunky Community/Communication Tools7. Bad Peer Review & Trolls8. Surprised by Hidden Costs9. You’re Just Shopping Around10. You’re There to Learn, Not for the Credential at the End

much more value than other cheaper and more convenient educational experiences and

Blended Learning?

Blended learning refers to a formal educationprogram in which a student learns:

1) At least in part through online learning, withsome element of student control over time,place, path, and/or pace;

2) At least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home; and

3) The modalities along each student’s learningpath within a course are connected to providean integrated learning experience.

Online Education will INCREASE COMPETITION.

Blending Quality Learning Environments?

1. Explore possibilities to discover the right blend of online and F2F learning to transform the courses.

2. Empower student-centered learning experiences that embrace higher order thinking skills and mastery learning.

3. Design collaborative and engaging learning experiences using social media, rapid e-learning tools and reusing/remixing OER/MOOC content (when possible).

4. Assess learning continuously (formative & summative) using a variety of methods to measure more authentic learning.
