BIC 2013 The Maturing of the MOOC

Main message Xavier Prats-Monne of the EC

“What can MOOCs do?” is not relevant any longer; rather, we have to ask "What should MOOCs do?”

Will affect higher education and that the traditional educational map must be redrawn with other structures, colors, models, pedagogy, organization, management

Ossiannilsson_EFQUEL_LINK2014

Policy track

Who should be involved in their design and delivery? What are the opportunities in terms of outreach, knowledge transfer, and capacity-building in developing countries?

What are the main challenges higher-education institutions are facing? What should the level of implementation be? Should there be a national or European strategy for MOOCs?
