DESCRIPTION
This presentation was given at the Global STEMx13 Online Conference. A recording can be found here or you can listen to the accompanying audio - https://sas.elluminate.com/drtbl?sid=2008350&suid=D.E8582910D52317BBF8A0B324B83E51 The session will give an overview of current trends with massive open online courses (MOOCs). We will discuss how an average MOOC works (there is no average MOOC). Then, we will delve into the core theoretical concepts behind MOOCs, discuss the importance of openness, connectivism, and the effects MOOCs have had on STEM education. We will discuss how MOOCs are both evolutionary and revolutionary and to what degree they are disrupting online education. We will concentrate on the issues/problems MOOCs have that prevent them from truly disrupting the status quo and discuss what possibilities lie with using MOOCs for STEM courses.TRANSCRIPT

“Cognitive capitalism requires knowledge and information as a key input and key output of capitalist production. Rather than pay a fair price for the development of this knowledge, MOOCs shift this reproductive work to the students, whose unpaid labor in teaching the courses develops a skilled workforce and introduces the world to a consumptive model of information.”
Matt Curinga, program director of the EdTech program at Adelphi University, from a talk at the 2013 annual meeting
of the American Education Research Association
