Beyond the MOOC Hype: Definitions, Tips, Benefits & Challenges
|
|
Complimentary Webinar
|
|
|
Available On Demand
Much ado has been made about Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) over the past year, but little has been shared about how community colleges can make the most of them. Generally, MOOCs are considered to be classes delivered online and available to thousands of students at a time, usually for free and for no credit. They incorporate principles from several learning theories, such as large group instruction, collaborative learning, and peer-to-peer learning. However, MOOCs offered through elite universities such as edX, Udacity, and Coursera differ from typical online courses in significant ways. Most notably, MOOCs have served as a catalyst for challenging traditional lecture-based and textbook-centric instruction and revitalizing credit-by-examination efforts.

A recent employee climate survey revealed that while employees valued the contributions they made to the institution and students, they did not believe the institutional leadership valued their contributions. Three years without raises, increased workloads due to unfilled positions and additional contributions to benefit packages are certainly reasons for the low morale. While most supervisors can’t control these necessary management decisions, they can control a healthy and productive workplace environment. In response to the climate survey, two complementary health, wellness and professional development programs were designed and developed at our institution.
