Four Slides on a MOOC for JISC Digital Festival
1. Supporting new lecturers in learning about
education is a national priority and doing so
openly allows it to go international
• Provide a fully online mode to the PG Cert for staff at
any institution of HE, globally
– Singapore, South Africa, Australia, USA, Canada, UK, Russia
• Enable professional & workplace based learning from
outside the course to be recognised in the course
Multiple social and material influences converge [in]
MOOC pedagogy…: teacher preferences and beliefs,
disciplinary influences, patterns of learner expectation
and engagement, and other contextual factors such as
institutional teaching culture (Bayne & Ross 2014)
2. • Courses - sustained engagement with
ideas and people over time
• Based on group and individual
activity - dialogic learning,
interaction with people
• Peer evaluated
• Assessment tasks and completion
certificates (“badges”) for those who
complete
• Using live and pre-recorded academic
multimedia
Confident, compassionate, connected, creativity
3. • Activity-based we do or make things in groups, with
tools, with criteria and roles
• Experiential, self-evaluative, practitioner-centred,
pragmatics - what works
• Dialogic we talk synchronously and asynchronously,
even back into deep time
• Reflective bringing experience into scholarly evidence
• Participatory tutors engage as learners
• Community-located in disciplines, institutions, work,
the world and society
• Outcomes led curriculum and aims are validated by the
University and contribute to HEA professional
recognition
4. • Where, for me FSLT14 worked so well is that it clearly
knows what it can and cannot deliver. It is a Bonsai
tree, not the entire forest. This is a blessing.
• I was waxing lyrical about the experience to an
academic colleague I bumped into … and she
commented "you're obviously thriving on it!”
• What has made this course so enjoyable is the smaller
scope, the great facilitation and the participation from
such a great diversity of learners
• I like how this course is focused on what it aims to
teach/what we need to learn and does so by being
structured in the same way. Perfect alignment.
• The most important thing I did, was reflect about the
different ways of teaching and learning, … based on
our own experience.
• A forgiving, inclusive and accessible, and I repeat
'human' touch.
