To MOOC Or Not To MOOC

This is a video of a workshop Mary Zedeck (Seton Hall University) and I conducted at the 2013 NJEDge.Net Annual Conference in November.

After a brief history of the brief history of Massive Open Online Courses and the educational philosophy that drove the creation of the first MOOCs in 2008, this workshop was about academics deciding whether or not MOOCs offer opportunities for their college.

Examining MOOCs from the points of view of stakeholders - faculty, designers, administration, support staff and students - was our approach as we worked our way through the pros and cons.
