“Where are all the other students?”
The brief for the final assignment of the Open Education MOOC run by the Open University (#h817open) was to reflect on the question of openness in education. Participants were asked to create a video covering one of the following elements:
- What aspect of openness in education interests you most (and why)?
- What the future direction of open education will be in your opinion, justifying your answer.
- Your experience of studying an open course versus traditional, formal education.
My contribution (my first ever video creation!) was made with the help of Xtranormal.
It is a not too serious look at how students can feel isolated by the open online courses.
It doesn’t necessarily help to be one of thousands enrolled on a course if you can’t make any real connections with other learners.
“Martin MOOC” – who’s he? Nice video
Martin is the man! 🙂
Well done video! Adding it as a resource on my eLearning and Digital Culture ScoopIt page http://www.scoop.it/t/elearning-and-digital-cultures
Reblogged this on ANIMAL MY SOUL and commented:
I wrote this blog 8 years ago but I think it’s more topical now than ever. I was trying to get to grips with what it means to be an online teacher and with studying at a distance. This is the new normal these days. Though I say it myself, I think the video is pretty good.
