Tim,
 
I really like the shift from "anytime, anywhere" to "all the time,
everywhere". I think that does describe the intersection of learner-centric
and device-centric quite well.
 
Now to do some more research into the term uLearning - it has been used
already, but I'm not sure in what context.
 
Cheers,
Rebecca

 Topic: Week 5 - Learning Objectives - Open Education and MOOCing

My goal this week is to collect my thoughts around what I'm doing
here. Why am I attracted to the MOOC format as a structure for
learning? The presence of so many talented and diversly informed
people clearly enhances the experience but there are factors that draw
us here beyond the social--a "property" of the MOOC environment that
begs discovery.
 
Why am I here? So far in all the time I've spent MOOCing the same
answer never repeats. Specifically, this week I'd like to understand
my reaction to a recently attempted course I dropped out of. The
material was fine and the old-school correspondence format that in the
past had never bothered me before just seemed empty. Oddly, I had the
impression that though I cared about the course, it didn't care about
me. Never feel that way in a MOOC. More like it won't leave me in
peace long enough to complete a thought.
 
..and read the report.
 
Scott

You must include the work of Richard Stallman. Rebel Code by Glyn Moody is a nice read.

My Goal for this week is to get a more complete picture of Open
 
Education.
 
This year I've been quite interested in designing a course on Open
 
Education (for graduate students) and I have a lot of ideas in mind;
 
including OER, OLI, OCW, Digital Storytelling, MOOCs and PLEs (were
 
those enough acronyms or what? :-) ). I'm interested in seeing what
 
people think the salient points for all of the above are, getting some
 
good sources, some best practices, and (perhaps?) crowd-source a
 
syllabus for such an Open Course (Open Course, Open Syllabus, eh?) or
 
at least get enough ideas that writing the syllabus will be as easy as
 
eating pie ;-)
 


 

 Topic: Week Five; Public, Private & Open - Onbline Learning

Hi friends,
 
Sixth week at EduMOOC, by topic name, seems to be a week for reviewing
the business process and their social implications relating to
various business models of ODL systems - Public, Private & Open -
Onbline Learning.
 
I found the following two blogs written by Sir John Daniel, President
and Chief Executive Officer of Commonwealth of Learning (http://
www.col.org/BLOG) very much relevant to this week’s EduMOOC topic.
 
eLearning and for-profit provision of higher education
Observing Private-Private and Public-Private Partnerships in Higher
Education
 
In the first blog Sir John Daniel discusses three important findings
in a report by Tony Bates titled “2011 Outlook for Online Learning and
Distance Education”. This includes (1) 21% expansion of enrolment in
fully online (distance) courses in the USA between 2009 and 2010
compared to a 2% expansion in campus-based enrolments,(2) the fact
that despite this growth institutional goals for eLearning are
unambitious (3) in the USA the for-profit sector has a much higher
proportion of the total online market (32%) compared to its share of
the overall higher education market (7%).
 
He also refer to some interesting information available in Whitney's
recent newsletter including an article by Howard Horton on the Online
Imperative in Higher Education.
 
In the second blog Sir John Daniel discusses the for-profit and public-
private partnership systems in higher education.
