TutorSpace: Content-centric Platform for Enabling Blended Learning in Developing Countries
نویسندگان
چکیده
One significant impact of the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) phenomenon is that they have accelerated the widespread availability of quality education content. We refer to this content as the Open Educational Resources (OERs). It is our hypothesis that the OERs can be used to supplement classroom teaching for improved teacher efficiency and better student outcomes. We present a platform called TutorSpace which helps in curating OER content from multiple sources, integrating this content into a curricular setting in the context of what the lecturer is teaching and delivering it to students in a personalized way. A particular novelty of the TutorSpace platform is its capability for content-driven non-linear navigation of video content.
