ALCTS Webinar: Using Third-Party MOOCs on Campus
Wednesday, May 21, 2014
All webinar sessions are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific,
12 Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.
Description
This webinar will cover new research on the opportunities and challenges
associated with using third-party MOOCs in campus-based courses. In
collaboration with the University System of Maryland, Ithaka S+R worked
with faculty members at six campuses to try incorporating MOOCs in more
than a dozen courses. The presenters will share findings from these tests:
*
what was the implementation process and what challenges arose?
*
what was the experience like for instructors?
*
what was the student response?
*
what impacts did we detect on student learning?
This series of webinars features librarians and scholars from public and
academic libraries reporting on the latest research about MOOCs and
offering practical information on creating and presenting MOOCs. It will
appeal to librarians in academic, public, and special libraries.
Presenters will discuss the role libraries play in the development of
MOOCs and share information that will enable attendees to familiarize
themselves with the steps involved in developing a MOOC. Learn more
