>>> Horizon Report in 2013 …


Open: from the Learning Objects to OCW and to MOOCs


Learning Object: IEEE Standard (educational object)

Metadata must include all the information the user must need

Learning object repositories are the best way to share knowledge

(UNED repository, MERLOT, etc.)

Learning objects are the best way to solve:

• Interoperability

• Reusability

• Automatic updates

• Personalization



Open Course Ware: MIT idea expanded to the world (course content)

Main objective was to offer learning materials to the Society in an

open way at no aditional cost

Now MIT is offering more than 2,000 courses

• Open and free and

• Universally accesible in the Internet

eduCommons environment

Consortium: any language, any continent



MOOC: Massive Open On-line Course (learning delivery)

Evolution from LO to OCW to MOOC

• Communications evolution

• Social networks evolution and use on learning

• Mobility and ubiquity evolution use on learning

• Collaborative environment evolution

• Specialized environment evolution

• OCW / Khan Academy



Evolution to the openess:

Learning Objects (units) >>> Open Course Ware (contents) >>>

MOOC (delivery)

• Course design – vídeo paradigm – evaluation – contents

• Difference between OPEN and FREE

• Author grants and use

• Copyright / Copyleft (Creative Commons)

• Too much students

• Any place access online



Massive Open On-line Course

• Courses o not courses ?

• Open or not open ?

• On-line or not on-line ?

• Massive or not massive ?
