Research Directions: Gates Foundation

§  Drive scaled adoption of MOOCs for intro and remedial learning content and competencies, for low-income young adults, and in the blended format

§  Research use cases, efficacy, and cost savings of MOOC implementations

§  Drive evolution of MOOC conversations and MOOC platforms toward higher quality, improved pedagogy, and improved authoring/integration support

Research Questions

§  What data needs to be captured and how open will it be for the advancement of learning?

§  What are the purposes and designs of different types of MOOCs?

§  Related to the above, what are the various instructional models?

§  For which students, courses, and contexts are MOOCs effective and where are they not?

§  How rich and deep is the learning with MOOCs – e.g., knowledge transfer vs. connectivism, deeper learning outcomes?

Research Questions

§  Which components drive impact for our target learners and what additional supports need to be added online or face-to-face?

§  What is the faculty role, time commitments, and work conditions versus face-to-face and traditional online? Which faculty are well suited?

§  What are the costs and barriers for development? Local customization? Implementation?

§  How can MOOCs serve broader goals of both students and institutions?
