La interaccin entre plataformas virtuales desarrolladas con sistemas de software como Moodle, de tanta implementacin para los campus virtuales de la Educacin Superior, y el reciente modelo pedaggico que ofrece el fenmeno MOOC (Massive Online Open Courses), basado en la masividad y gratuidad de la formacin, ofrecen nuevas perspectivas en la configuracin de las estructuras acadmicas, docentes y cientficas universitarias. En el presente artculo, una investigacin terica basada en el mtodo de modelacin, se tiene como principal objetivo analizar y estudiar las especiales caractersticas y formas de ambos fenmenos, y las posibles interacciones que se pueden producir entre ellos en la creacin de futuros modelos de enseanza en Educacin Superior.

ResumenEl aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida requiere la adquisición de unas competencias clave por parte de los ciudadanos. Un ejemplo de competencia clave es la competencia digital. Para su desarrollo se considera relevante contemplar la oferta de nuevas asignaturas que integren aspectos de gestión de la identidad digital y entornos personales de aprendizaje. Este artículo propone una nueva asignatura para la capacitación digital del estudiante universitario, de carácter online y con tutorías virtuales y presenciales. El objetivo de este estudio es presentar los aspectos considerados para el diseño del modelo de asignatura para la competencia digital del estudiante universitario. La asignatura contempla el seguimiento de cursos abiertos masivos en línea con el objeto de trabajar competencias transversales y específicas de la asignatura, a la vez que el alumno se familiariza con su entorno personal de aprendizaje. Para la gestión y evaluación de la asignatura se emplea una plataforma e-learning y un servicio de blogs institucional. Los resultados muestran la experiencia de aplicar el modelo en el marco del Máster Universitario en Eficiencia Energética en la Edificación, la Industria y el Transporte, de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid en el curso 2016/17. Se identifica la necesidad de aplicar esta asignatura en futuras promociones del máster, así como en otros programas de posgrado, con el fin de cuantificar la eficacia del modelo y su adecuación para la consecución de las competencias digitales previstas.AbstractLifelong learning requires the acquisition of key competences by citizens. One of the key competences is digital competence. Therefore, new subjects that integrate digital identity and the aspects of the personal learning environments should be considered. This paper proposes a new online course for developing the digital competence of university students, with virtual and face-to-face tutoring. The objective of this study is to present the aspects considered to design the model of course for the digital competence of university students. The course includes the training through massive online open courses undertaken by students to reach general and specific competencies, being at the same time a tool for the student to gain familiarity with their personal learning environment. The management of the course, as well as the student assessment, are conducted through an institutional e-learning platform and a blogging service. The results show the experience of implementing the model in the framework of the Master’s degree in “Eficiencia Energética en la Edificación, la Industria y el Transporte”, of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, in the academic course 2016/17. The results show a model of course that considers The need of implementing this course in the coming batches of students of the master and other postgraduate programmes is identified, aiming to quantify the effectiveness and appropriateness of the course for the achievement of the foreseen digital competencies.

Since its creation in 2014, the Robot Programming Network (RPN) has been an environment to learn and teach robotics to the general public, which has also allowed us to learn about education. In this paper, we aim to not only present the RPN and the active courses in the system but also show the evolution of this initiative in front of the changing e-learning environment and its possible future evolution towards Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) and cloud simulation.

In this research paper, the researcher has attempted to analyse the impact of MOOCs to improve the performance of faculty members concerning Delhi NCR. Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) are evolving rapidly, and many kinds of research have been conducted to explore the structure, effectiveness and issues arise in MOOCs. The free accessibility of MOOCs has believed in soon replace the traditional teaching and learning method.

Abstract Background Public Health Ethics (PHE) has been taught first as optional and later as a mandatory subject in the Master of Public Health in Barcelona for about 6 years. During these years, professors have adapted the methodology to make it more attractive and to maximize students' participation and time spent debating and practicing moral reasoning. Objectives To showcase 3 different teaching strategies or methods, presenting for each of them: resources required, outcomes so far in terms of satisfaction and exam performance, as well as the pros and cons from the teacher's perspective. Results Flipped-classroom strategy: theoretical content is delivered outside the classroom, and the practice into the classroom. Works well but needs incentives for compliance in reading. Versatile debating Methods: from parliamentary debate, to role-playing, online debate, etc. Depending on the Case-study, some work better than others; in the online they practice written deliberation skills, but it is important to set rules. MOOC: Massive Online Open Courses in PHE. Can be used as independent teaching material, it is a great tool to introduce PHE into other PH areas and non-teaching environments. Conclusions So far, these methods have proven to increase students' motivation and engagement in Public Health Ethics. Key messages Practising reflection and debating skills is an essential part of PHE. Modern teaching strategies, more interactive and online-based, can help maximising the time spent in these activities. Although challenging and time-consuming at first, these methods also increase students' interest in PHE.

RESUMO Com o aumento da oferta na rede mundial de computadores dos chamados Cursos On-line Massivos e Abertos, mais conhecidos por seu acrônimo em inglês MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses), cria-se a necessidade de que se pesquise de maneira mais aprofundada sua dinâmica, sua pedagogia e sua estrutura a fim de que se possa estabelecer um juízo sobre as possibilidades de uso efetivo desta nova ferramenta para o ensino de línguas estrangeiras. Neste trabalho, situado no âmbito das pesquisas em CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning), partimos da perspectiva da Teoria Conectivista, estabelecida, sobretudo, a partir dos estudos de Siemens e Downes, para analisar dois cursos de línguas estrangeiras na modalidade MOOC, oferecidos em diferentes plataformas digitais: o curso de espanhol para estrangeiros oferecido pela UNED em plataforma própria e o curso de mandarim para hispanofalantes veiculado pela plataforma UNIMOOC. Em ambos os casos, evidencia-se que os cursos não cumprem o que prometem, apresentando falhas no processo de ensino, sobretudo no que tange à necessidade de criar espaços propícios à interação. Este trabalho inscreve-se em uma proposta de pesquisa mais ampla, cujo objetivo é estabelecer critérios adequados para a criação de MOOCs para o ensino de línguas estrangeiras.

Technology and globalization have increased accessibility to higher education. In recent years, the concept of online or distance learning has expanded to a growing number of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs), i.e. enrolling in free higher education courses open for any Internet user. MOOCs are recent trends in distance learning promoted by several prestigious universities. This Chapter describes what MOOC is with review of the history, its characteristics, advantages, and different platforms for developing of MOOCs. The authors also discuss the multi-criteria nature of MOOCs and identify the parameters important for selecting a MOOC platform. It is hoped that MOOC will enhance accessibility, student engagement, and experiences for lifelong learning which will empower and inspire educators around the world and promote success in learning.
