What I Need to Know

“The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education
at all levels, and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to
all.”
- 1987 Philippine Constitution, Article XIV, Section 1

Technologies have been advancing to the level where people can reach various
things easily, especially in education. Since the start of the 21st century, educators
continuously search for alternatives to break the traditional way of teaching and
learning in this digital world. Of course, accessibility and quality are prime importance
to these alternatives. One and probably the trendiest globally among these
alternatives is the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).

 What Is It

Canadian Educators, Stephen Downes and George Siemens, developed an

online course which offered freely available online educational services called
Connectivism and Connective Knowledge in 2008. With this initiative, Massive Open
Online Course (MMOC) was created.

To understand the phenomenon of MOOC, let us define first the words massive,
open, online and course.

MASSIVE refers to the scale of the course and alludes to the large number of
learners who participate in some MOOCs.

OPEN has multiple meanings in relation to MOOCs. It may refer to access;

anyone, no matter his or her background, prior experience or current context
may enrol in a MOOC. Open can also refer to cost; that is, a MOOC is
available free of charge. A third meaning of open relates to the open nature of
knowledge acquisition in a MOOC, including the employment of Open
educational resources (OER) or Open Course Ware (OCW) which is available
under a Creative Commons licence.

ONLINE means that the courses are offered online, with the access of
internet.

COURSE, three criteria must be met for a MOOC to be regarded as a ‘course’:

(1) it is bounded by a start and end date; (2) it is cohered by a common theme
or discourse; and (3) it is a progression of ordered events

What is MOOC?

Massive Open Online Course is an open access and an interactive way to

facilitate students’ online study. It can provide participants with course materials such
as videos, lectures and study materials. It is primarily an “online course” delivered
over the Internet to potentially an unlimited number of students at a time.

In 2013, University of the Philippines-Open University (UPOU) offered the first

MOOC in the country. This was done after the New York Times named 2012 as “The
Year of MOOCs”. This made more accessible to Filipinos anywhere in the country,
even anyone outside the country, to quality and free education.

 Below are the two (2) Kinds of MOOC:

1. The Connectivist MOOC (cMOOC)

2. The Content-based MOOC (xMOOC)

cMOOC xMOOC
Informal learning environment Formal learning environment
Focus is on knowledge creation and Focus is on knowledge duplication
generation
Created by individuals, academics Created by universities and schools
Emphasizes connected and Emphasizes coordinated assessments
collaborative learning and quizzes
Comparatively more learner action Comparatively less learner action
Promotes diversity and collaboration Encourages a huge diversity of
applicants

Can you earn a degree by taking an MOOC?

Currently, the answer is no. MOOCs is designed primarily to align the courses
to a college or university. Though not all MOOCs offer academic credit, with easier
access to these educational tools, knowledge is surely be shared freely.
