Time:

Speaker:

Kyriaki Anagnostopoulou, University of Bath

Abstract:

An increasing number of leading-edge institutions are investing heavily in providing individuals globally with access to high quality learning materials and tasters of exciting and innovative topics which are taught in higher education. Furthermore, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) forefront the fact that learning is a social experience which extends beyond the confines of the traditional classroom.

This talk will explore some of the opportunities and challenges MOOCs pose to educational institutions wanting to partake in such developments. Considerations that need to be made when embarking on such initiatives and the implications for those engaged in e-learning and web-development fields will be discussed.
