Massive Online Open Courses
(MOOCs)
MOOCs are online courses that allow participants free access and
unrestricted participation to any course of their choice.
History
Founders:
George Siemens
a Canadian professor of psychology at
the University of Texas at Arlington
professor and director of the Centre for Change
and Complexity in Learning at the University of
South Australia.
He is known for his theory of connectivism, which
seeks to understand learning in the digital age.
History
Founders:
Stephen Downes
a specialist in online learning technology and new
media
best known for his daily newsletter, OLDaily
known as a leading proponent of connectivism
has 135 articles published in books, magazines
and academic journals
History
The term MOOC was coined to refer to a course developed by Stephen Downes
and George Siemens entitled Connectivism and Connectivity Knowledge in 2008.
Their intention was to exploit the possibility for interactions between a wide
variety of participants made possible by online tools so as to provide a richer
learning environment than traditional tools would allow.
25 students attended the course on the campus of the University of Manitoba, and a
further 2300 from around the world participated online.
History
MOOCs were first started in 2008, created by George Siemens
and Stephen Downs, and was called “Connectivism and
Connective Knowledge/2008” or CCK08.
It was created as a credit course for the University of
Manitoba.
CCK08 had 25 students who had paid fees for the course and
around 2200 learners who took the course for free.
