The videos are uploaded to Youtube servers

Users view the videos, do not download them

You can only aggregate the contents with a limited

number of playing lists

Very poweful statistics tool

UPV[X] Forum dynamics


The data for 3 editions is similar

Demography is similar to the one of big MOOC

platforms

Mostly people between 20 and 45 with

university background

People like the way of learning

The ones who finish are very happy with the

courses

112

MOOC Final conclusions on surveys


Most of people abandon because of lack of

time

Sending emails is useful for engagement

We have to enhace communication in Latin

America

Most people say their motivation is to learn,

but when they finish they ask for the certificate

Most clients use Windows with Chrome

MOOC Final conclusions on surveys (2)

114

Why MOOC/ Open Access?

We can experiment to incorporate new

technologies to on-campus teaching

Digital reputation around the world an in news

media

Huge showcase to show what we do

We are a public University

They could be a source of income throught

certification


Polimedia technology and Docencia en Red experience has

let us develop MOOC courses fast.

Google Course Builder is a good platform but some issues:

Authoring interface

Emailing

Assessment security

Student interface usability

Google App Engine is cheap, easy and robust

The neutral format gives us a lot of flexibility

The ways of recognizing the teacher work have to be

worked on

There is interest in paid academic online certification

Future

OpenEdx platform opensourced by edX

Powerful and with an international community around

We are now migrating to it

Installing it in own servers is complicated

Mooc.org, Google, edX partnership ¿?

We made a pilot paid certification on premises exam with

“Tecnologías Educativas” course. There were 80

interested in total (of 212 who completed the course), 25 in

Valencia. 12 took the exam

We are going to make an online certification paid pilot

exam with the same course. More than 150 interested
