The MOCC OfferingsHuge classesSalami approachSelf paced (within cycles)Media BasedNo tutoringSelf contained (in most cases )No meaningful interaction, unlessAutomatic gradingPeers gradingNo curriculum (yet?)Degrees: not yet clearBusiness Models: still in development12Paradigm Shift 1Present the lesson via short Learning Objects (LO) of few minutes Short and focused objects of learning coupled with Formative EvaluationIntelligent Tutor System Selects objects based on learners preferences and on immediate evaluationMassive reading only complementary and eBook orientedIntegrated true Digital eBooks rather than Digitized BooksEmphasis on MediaMultimodal interactions (read it / hear it / see it / experience it / create it)
13Paradigm Shift 2Use PDAs as active devicesRecord, Photo, Film, Broadcast, Converse
High InteractionMake use of touch screen interactivityImmediate Recording and Delivery of MP3/MP4 Use of Mini Intelligent Games
Assignments are integral part of the LO approach:Immediate Responses, Multi Choice Questions, Peers Evaluation Plagiarism control?

Can these periods be used for even more productive learning, based on the salami / LO approach of short durations?
