The Quality Challenge

innovation,• move on to educational (r)evolution and
change, and • Lead to a quest for quality and
innovation strategies.CPD Session - Faculty of Education, May 2014 25

MOOCs and quality
• Should we care about the MOOC drop outs?• Do MOOCs challenge the current HE model?• How will it be looking when learning and
certification will be disaggregated?• What is it that makes a model with high drop
out, little success rates and heterogenious target groups popular?

2. Mixing Groups?
Be aware that inviting the world means to bring in the worlds opinion (existing groups might be disturbed)Mixing campus and MOOC Students might be challenging: drive in/by learners vs. highly motivated learners who want a masters degree.

3. Learning Across Contexts
Be aware that the quality paradigm “fitness for purpose” is not working for MOOCs because MOOCs mean learning across contexts and purposes.Quality measures become individualised, quality methods like self- & peer-assessment and –reflection are suitable.

4. Support Self-Organization
Be open about your requirements of self-organisation, provide scaffolding for those who lack that self-organisation.

5. Declare What‘s in it!
Be precise about the content and purpose of the MOOC (self-declaration) and keep promises! (Use a MOOC description model) - (Conole 2013)

6. Peer-to-Peer Pedagogy
Use peer-to-peer pedagogy: peer-learning, peer-review, peer-assessment, collaborative learning, multiple learning pathways and exploratory learningUnderstand that teaching is not a prerequsite of learning.

7. MOOCs Support Choice Based Learning
Move away from the notion that „ending a MOOC early“ means dropping out ; looking at MOOCs like (structured, paced, timebound) coursesBe aware that MOOC learning is an opt-in/out learning model - MOOCs follow voluntary sequencing and are based on choices. The choices they offer make their attractiveness.
