Differences Among Three Types of MOOC's

cMOOC, xMOOC, and pMOOC

Two decades ago, you you probably would not be able to find anything online about "MOOC's"... times have changed...
The term was coined by Dave Cornier. MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Courses. You can probably guess why the need to coin such a term...yes, the massive online courses are innovative and exciting, although regretfully the course completion rate is very low. Only 2-10 percent of enrollees survive. These are their characteristics: cMOOC is learner role active, instructor role co-learner, learning theory-connectivism, primary pedagogy-knowledge integration, metaphor-"we link movies", development approach-learning design, primary type of assessment-self-assessment, and funding source-seat of the pants funding. xMOOC is learner role-passive, instructor-sage on video stage, learning theory-behaviorism, primary pedagogy-knowledge duplication, metaphor-"we watch movies", development approach-instructional design, primary type of assessment-external and peer assessment, and funding source-large external funding. And pMOOC is learner role active, instructor role -guide on the side, learning theory-constructivism, primary pedagogy-knowledge production, metaphor-"we make movies", development approach-educational design research, primary type of assessment-self-and or client assessment, and funding source-moderate client provided funding. Of all these mentioned, my favorite is pMOOC as the learning theory is constructivism oriented.

Stacey and Todd's Dilemma from our weekly class readings... In this week's readings we learned about the myriad social media tools and their educational uses. We learned that although both, Stacey and Todd recognize the dominion caliber social media integration has education they are unsure as to how to implement it into their respective fields. They both give credence that effective integration of social medial will require careful needs assessment, instructional design, and facilitation. Both, Stacey and Todd consider the most prominent social media sites such as Facebook, Bogs, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube, and Wiki. They also consider learning activities, with and without social media such as Lecture, Guest Lecture, Readings and Discussions boards (much like we, CSULA 4510 students experience in our discussions boards), Critique, and Research Projects. To conclude, Stacey and Todd both recognize that social media use has become a standard part of everyday life. They both

The importance of an ePortfolio       Anyone trying to expand or create his or her portfolio must consider sites such as weebly.com, wix.com, or even google sites as these sites offer free services to the users. I have read some of the reviews on some of these and according to my findings it appears as though wix is much more reliable than weebly when it comes to creating a website. For my Instructional Design Technology M.A program at CSULA I am being asked to create 3 different websites at 3 different sites, and based on my research findings I think it would be in my best interest to focus on wix.com and google sites. Creating a portfolio to showcase ones academic, personal, and career-oriented achievements is a phenomenal and contemporary idea. I find that it would be in everyone's best interest to invest some time in creating a personal website. The website should be clean, informative, entertaining, yet, simple and easy to navigate. Once I come up with my three websites I w

Criterion-Based and Norm-Based Evaluation Methods/Tools        Due to the large amount of students that might be testing on State or national based tests such as the CBEST, the CSET, the MCAT, etc., these states are scored or measured using the norm-based evaluation as the scores are ranked. These tests take long time to create and to take. Some, up to 6 hours! The students are ranked by their test achievement. The criterion-based test, on the other hand, is usually created individually, for example, by a teacher. These tests are short in duration, typically a one class period. The criterion-based test measures the skills and knowledge a student has mastered and the scores are given in percentages. The teacher utilizes sites such as google forms, kahoot, quizlet, jeopardy/online games, and/or ed puzzle. As an educator it is in the best interest of the students and the teacher to be very comfortable with all these sites.  http://lizedit4500.blogspot.com
