A note about students effort


20/23

Our Google Course Builder experience

We began with GCB because it was easy to start with

Made for developers, not for teachers

Teachers need heavy support from IT services

Python development skills required Cheap

Tied to Google: accounts, videos in Youtube (no SPOCs)


21/23

Our MiriadaX experience

Developed by Telefonica using Liferay. Designed for MOOC.

Let you use videos from Youtube or upload them, incorporate html only pagesand activities (a,b,c quizzes or P2P) and it had its forums and teacher interface.

Its major drawback at the time we used it (first half of 2013) was the verylow usability for teachers. Limited options for activities

Peer to peer activities very problematic. For instance It was impossible to workwith mathematical formulas without making a tedious image cut and paste

Impossible to download student data

So, in summary, we think that the version of MiriadaX we used should be

considered a beta edition, with many things to solve (even as some of themwere solved during the courses).

Course dissemination is much better in a bigger platform

We had some problems with rights agreements between the three partiesinvolved: teachers, university and MiriadaX


22/23

So at the end

We are quite happy with the results of our MOOCprogram in 2013

You will achieve different enrollment depending on the

platform that you use We are migrating to OpenEdx for our 2014 MOOCs

and we will tell you @EMOOCs 2015 ;-)
