Lessons learned from Ebooks, MOOCs, and SPOCs

چکیده
This paper describes our experience in trying to transfer our revised software engineering curriculum from UC Berkeley to other universities. Our original plan was just to develop an inexpensive electronic textbook, but we were swept up in the first wave of Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs) while we were writing it. Thus, the paper lists the lessons learned about educational technology transfer from writing Ebooks and developing MOOCs. To make it easier for instructors to use MOOC material, EdX offers Small Private Online Course (SPOCs) We argue that SPOCs and Ebooks may become the textbook of the 21 Century.

متن کاملDesign, Implementation and Evaluation of SPOCs at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has been offering several face-to-face remedial courses for freshmen to review or learn concepts and practical skills that they should know before starting their degree program. During the last two years our University has adopted MOOC-like technologies to support some of these courses so that a “flipping the classroom” methodology can be applied in a partic...
