 in general These are some of the questions that we can consider when we refer to MOOC, okay? because There are also X MOOCs and C MOOCs, okay, but we have to consider these Questions because what is massive 100 students? Well, not really in general MOOCs usually have Higher numbers, okay more than 1,000 students usually, okay, that's why they are called massive In the case of open it's true that in most of the cases they have open registration This is changing a little bit in the last two years and some of them Have some requirements for register for example, they give you Seven days for free, but then if you want to continue you have to pay something. This is changing This is new from the last two years the They have open content, okay, because it is usually distributed in different lessons so you can get access to that Free of charge as I said in most of the cases you can enter But then if you want the certificate if you complete the course and you want the certificate In some cases more is this is more and more common. You have to pay something for the final diploma, okay? But maybe in some cases is 30 euros or 40 and 40 euros that is not quite a lot It depends also on the platform because as we will see for example in the case of Coursera They have like a specialization specialization Programs and in this case they can cost 500 or 600 euros So maybe in these cases we have to evaluate if it's worth it or not, okay for our personal development And this is connected with the affordable online The real-time interaction in some cases because they have Broadcasting and streaming, okay, but in many cases they also have forums So you would write there and then the answer can be now or in an hour, okay, and the courses If it's self-paced as I said the normal thing is that they distribute the contents into different Wigs or lessons, okay? In some cases they have deadlines if you don't finish the course in the specific date Maybe you cannot continue with the activities especially for the assessment activities And then well the role of the structure and the feedback because this is quite commonly based on Peer assessment, okay, you develop a task and then three partners Evaluate it, okay, and you have to evaluate the tasks of all the three students as a minimum Then if you want to go with more, there's no problem at all, okay? As I said Coursera, I think is the leader of the international Context because they started Five or six years ago and they have some of the most prestigious universities of the world Okay, they have lots of resources lots of courses of education Both for language learning, but also for other skills Okay, so take a look in this case You can see that the interface is in Spanish, but most of the courses not all but most of the courses are in English So I always say that my first contact with Coursera was in What was four years ago? in summer because I discovered that there was a very interesting course on archaeology That is very far from my Normal environment But I like history and I said, okay, let's check it was amazing It was an amazing experience because I was doing something that was interesting for me and The interaction with people from all the parts of the world was amazing, okay? But as I said lots of courses of education, okay, and even if you like Things related to writing in Spanish the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona has a I think that's the third edition of Coursera de Dipografía Española that is also interesting to refresh some aspects about that because why not it's something that is there and why not But as I said, there are many many options and of course related to computers I think that's almost everything that you would like to learn could be more or less found here Then edx this is true that originally well as you can see we have Harvard MIT Berkeley for example, this is more technological. There are some things applied to education, but that you can use for You know if you want to know something about programming for example introduction to some programming languages can be interesting, okay? In a advice at a basic level and then you start reading and start doing some tasks and it's interesting In the case of Khan Academy, I think that this was one of the first Okay, this was based on The idea that you can also share your knowledge in the two previous Cases there were prestigious universities teaching Contents and Competencies from their areas of expertise, but in the case of Khan you can also be teachers for others Okay, you have to register as a teacher or as a student and you can see how how to work there It's another interesting and if you see there's also a part for parents because they can also be focused on children, okay Then in the case of future learn, this is British and this is another Possibility in if you see in most of the cases you can access for free and then if you want the final Diploma, I think it's 30 oops Something like 30 pounds to get yes something like that When when you don't have to pay to access the course and you have to pay the diploma There's no more than 50 euros in general Okay so pros and cons of these types of You know learning processes, what can you tell me? What can you tell me about this? I'm going to give you a couple of minutes to think in purse and try to decide some pros and cons of this type of Future training that is another possibility and of course well apart from this, but it's quite possible that you know it in death also has MOOCs and S MOOCs and pills and different possibilities, but these are international ones mainly in English And you can also use it so please a couple of minutes to think about pros and cons of this and then we will share it Okay, so Let's see what do you think please? Okay, so if you want let's see Please Let's see first Son of the pros, okay Now we only have this microphone So if you don't mind what you tell me I'll repeat it so that everybody can can hear it, okay So we start firstly with the pros and then we move to the cons, okay? And then I will give you other ideas about that. Okay, so Advantage is okay accessibility. Okay Okay, yes, you can access independently from the time The place the only thing that you need to have is internet connection Okay Okay, so accessibility. What else? Okay sharing your ideas and the knowledge and yes, it's all around the world because as this is massive You can work with People from Lebanon from the US and from South Korea at the same time Okay, and in this case the normal things that you use a language I mean a common language that in most of the cases is English Okay, so it's another way to practice in real interactive contexts. Okay. What else? Okay, you save money and time in what sense do you think you save time? Okay, okay, so for example, he says that related to the millions of the means of transport Okay, because you don't need to move anywhere. You don't need to travel to Go to Harvard. Okay Yeah, for example, okay. What else? Okay enrichment. Okay Linguistic culturally Okay, so there's a this is connected with sharing. Yes, no doubt. What else? More pros No time table. Okay. Yes. In general, we have no schedules. Okay This is not always completely true because in some cases you have some final deadline and if you don't Hand to your activities in for example, you cannot get the certificate Yes, of course, you can work at night because probably if you're working at night in another part of the world They are working in the morning. So this is this is the idea that this constant global collaboration Okay, what else more ideas more pros? Yes, cheaper formation cheaper training is what he said that you save money and time. Yeah okay, and Also in general prestigious universities. Okay, or prestigious professionals in a field Okay, what What about the cons the disadvantages? Okay, no human contact Okay, what else? Okay, let's face-to-face interaction the the guidance The guidance or or the tutors are not always there for you for your personal doubts But you depend a lot on other partners that may know your answer or not In fact, it is quite common. That's in in MOOCs. They choose like the top ten questions because Students okay participants Have a question. They make it in a forum and then students vote the the most recurrent questions and The top ten are Answered by the teachers but not the rest So this is a disadvantage Okay, what else? Yes, a lack of self-organization. Yes may lead to trouble, but it's true that if you're not interested you can Avoid continuing the process. So, you know, this is okay less Individualization, okay, this idea of learners from third approaches are not so easily covered in this Okay other ideas Bros cooperation Okay, between learners and teachers when possible. Okay, not always but Among learners is very very common because you have to assess other people's tasks the active role of the students because you Work with projects mainly you have to work with tasks and you have to to go with this and usually if you Want to join a MOOC is because you are interested about, you know, you want to do something about this and of course you are Motivated the flexibility the accessibility the adaptability that we said earlier International education that you may know other processes other approaches to a topic that you may know and Open access. These are some of the you know of other advantages that MOOC MOOCs have In the cons They tend to have lots of theoretical contents they have lots of long PDFs and Especially very long videos if you have a video that is longer than 10 minutes You don't pay attention to that Okay In some cases it's not real education innovation. Why because in some cases is just the teacher saying something Okay It's under the station of knowledge. Well, this is connected with globalization the idea of the digital competence and autonomous learning as She said earlier is not always possible to Continue this if you are not very aware that you want to continue because we always have all the things to do in general And the high dropout figures why because As in general they are free Many many many people all over the world Enter see what is about and they don't continue Okay, but because of that because when you have to pay for a product for something if you have to pay the amount I don't mind For something they say well, I have paid so I need to finish it But in this case as you enter in many cases You haven't bet so you don't feel like you have the obligation to finish it. So this is one of the main criticism Against mocks, okay, the high dropout figures, okay And now let's move to some resources for lessons the idea Was to use all these resources here, but considering our limitations I had a plan B and In this case what I have is some videos to show you the functioning of these Absence of words and so But please keep them in mind because as you have to do a final task, maybe you can use any of these You know, especially if you don't know it Now it's better because you will know something new, okay, and maybe you can implement it in your in your lessons, okay In this case in general, they are not Only apps for education, but general apps that we can implement in our lessons, okay so first Gamification learning by plane Okay, I have here some ideas about the role of games At education that they started in the in the 80s that you can read at home, but it's interesting because It goes from the beginnings of Carmen San Diego to teach a social science Okay, because if you remember the story it was a woman who traveled all around the world She was a kind of a spy and this was the beginnings Or it is considered one of the beginnings of gamification and in school Okay, so you can you can read it and also of course civilization that for history it was very good But you can see this I include it because I think that is interesting if you have some time to read it because you can see the evolution to our For example current Minecraft that's children law Okay, I Cannot understand the Minecraft But yes, it's a confession. I have tried and even I have played but I don't see the purpose of that But it's true and many many people use Minecraft for education purposes, okay so here I have Class do you that somebody mentioned earlier at the back Uh Clickers and pluragon, okay Do you know all these well clickers you mentioned that earlier? But the idea of do you it's a kind of competition Among the students, okay? Then in clickers you only need your own device, but the students don't need any other device, okay? And in the case of pluragon, I think it's one of my favorite Because they have the possibility to create their characters and to create dialogues and it's very good So I will show you some examples of this okay, so these are these are apps that you can use with the Computer in Windows in Mac and with your mobile phones, okay? So let's see first class do you Know Don't The best part is this Now, the teacher will tell you more about how we're going to use So as you can see, this is a system based on points, kind of prices for students. And they usually like it a lot because as they have their own avatars that they can modify their monsters, they identify with them and then they try to get more points than the other. So it's a kind of competition, but it's not only focus or, I mean, if you want, you can do it. But it's not only necessarily focused on contents, but also on attitudes and competencies and skills. And in general, this system of getting more points than the others usually helps them to improve their behavior, their attitude in the context of a class. And if I'm not wrong, also parents can see the scores and the results of the students. So it's very good because families are also conscious of the progress and the attitudes of the children in class, so it's very good. They usually like it a lot. Now in the case of Plickers, in this case, as I told you, you only need your own device. In this case, it's not a description of the app, but a real use in a classroom. And you will see that the age of the students is primary education. So as you can see, they have some cards with different positions. And each position is associated to an answer. So they have time to, for example, in this case, to do the problem and to get a solution. And then when they know their answers or they think they know the answer, they raise their hands with the card. And with the smartphone, it's very easy to collect all the answers. And you can use the same cardboard once and again and again because you only modify. It's like a hood that you associate colors. In this case, you associate positions of the square. It's quite easy. And the good thing is that you can print the cardboard. And if you, for example, classify them, you can use them with no problems because you know that papers can last for just some time. So I think that this is another interesting tool. And as I said, Pluragon is a very interesting tool. Have you ever heard about that? No? Okay. Do you know the video game The Sims? Yes, The Sims? Okay. The Sims is a simulation of real life in which you create your own character and you develop their lives. The interactions with other neighbors, with other people, even you get a job. You create and you design your own character that you can modify and personalize as you want. Pluragon has an appearance very similar to The Sims. Okay. This is for free. And you can use it in your tablets or in your laptops. The only thing that you have to pay, but it's not really necessary if you want additional features, additional characters or additional settings, but it's not really needed because there are many that you can download for free. Okay. For example, the settings at the school, in the cafeteria, you know, at home in the different rooms of the house. So you can download many, many possibilities and there's no problem. The same with the characters. You can personalize them quite a lot with no special difficulties. Okay. Because the only thing is that you choose the face, the eyes, the eyebrows, the hair and then the clothes and they like it a lot. So in this case, it's mainly focused on, for example, creating dialogues. As you said that you were creating videos or puppets in the previous activities. This can also be done with this. As I said, it's very easy to use. And then I have here, well, the presentation of the program, but also a short video that some of my students did. In this case, there were my students, but we have taken this into primary education. The problem is that the video is online and we cannot, sorry, play that. But you will see because you write the dialogues. If you write in Spanish, it's a disaster. But if you do it in English, they pronounce it in English. So it's a text into voice software, but students can also record their own voices. Just clicking on that. Okay. So I will show you the general presentation and then I will show you an example of a group of my students that recorded in this case the topic of their video was the assignment of destinations in their Rasmus program. Okay. And they were very happy about that. Okay. So firstly, as I said, the presentation, I will make some comments about that. And then I'll show you the specific example, a real example.
