Massive Open Online Courses: Current State and Perspectives (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 14112)

Authors: Pierre Dillenbourg, Armando Fox, Claude Kirchner, John Mitchell, and Martin Wirsing

Published in: Dagstuhl Manifestos, Volume 4, Issue 1 (2014)


Abstract
The rapid emergence and adoption of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has raised new questions and rekindled old debates in higher education. Academic leaders are concerned about educational quality, access to content, privacy protection for learner data, production costs and the proper relationship between MOOCs and residential instruction, among other matters. At the same time, these same leaders see opportunities for the scale of MOOCs to support learning: faculty interest in teaching innovation, better learner engagement through personalization, increased understanding of learner behavior through large-scale data analytics, wider access for continuing education learners and other nonresidential learners, and the possibility to enhance revenue or lower educational costs. Two years after "the year of the MOOC", this report summarizes the state of the art and the future directions of greatest interest as seen by an international group of academic leaders. Eight provocative positions are put forward, in hopes of aiding policy-makers, academics, administrators, and learners regarding the potential future of MOOCs in higher education. The recommendations span a variety of topics including financial considerations, pedagogical quality, and the social fabric.

Massively Open Online Courses, Current State and Perspectives (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 14112)

Authors: Pierre Dillenbourg, Claude Kirchner, John C. Mitchell, and Martin Wirsing

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 3 (2014)


Abstract
The Perspectives Workshop on "Massively Open Online Courses, Current State and Perspectives" took place at Schloss Dagstuhl on March 10--13, 2014. Twenty-three leading researchers and practitioners from informatics and pedagogical sciences presented and discussed current experiences and future directions, challenges, and visions for the influence of MOOCs on university teaching and learning. The first day of the workshop consisted of a series of presentations in which each participant presented those topics and developments he or she considered most relevant for the future development of MOOCs. The abstracts of these talks are given in the first part of this report. On the second and third day the participants divided into several working groups according to the main thematic areas that had been identified on the first day. This gives rise to a Manifesto to be published in the Dagstuhl Manifesto series and to identifying main research questions rised by the emergence of MOOCs: they are summarized in the second part of this report.
