EDUCAUSE, a nonprofit association and community of IT leaders and

professional describe Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) as “a model for delivering
learnings content online to any person who wants to take a course, with no limit on
attendance. EDUCAUSE’s mission is to advance higher education through the use
of information technology.
There is a growing interest of MOOCs as indicated by big investment in
companies (Coursera, Udacity, Udemy), similar non-profit initiative (edX), and
learning managements systems (Canvas Backboard). According to each writer
Justine Reich, MOOCs are open in two respect (volume, 2012).
1. Open enrollment to students outside a hosting university (as in “open
registration”).

2. The materials of the course were licensed using Creative Common licenses so
their materials could be mixed and reused by others (as in open license).

The educational benefits of MOOCs can be maximized if organizations or

institutions that offer such sources are made more open though Creative Commons
licensing. This way, academic and professional institutions reach more online user,
thus, flourishing open education movement.
Wearable Technology

A wearable technology is also called wearable gadgets; it is a

category of technology devices that can be worn by a costumer and often
include tracking information related to health and fitness. A technology that
helps the athletes to get qualified input about vital data during work-out. These
wearable devices or wearables are electronic technologies or computers that are
incorporated in to items of clothing and accessories which can comfortably be
worm the body.

The characteristic of wearable, according to Wearable Devices magazine, include

the following.
• performing computer related tasks such as laptops and mobile phones.
• provide sensory and scanning features {such as biofeedback and tracking of
physiological function} that are typically not seen in mobile or laptop devices
• Have some form of communication capability and will allow the wearer access
to information in real time.
• Date input capabilities
• Local storages capabilities
Different fields such as health and medicine, fitness aging, disabilities,
education, transportation, enterprise, finance, gaming and music” have slowly
started to adapt the use of such technologies to improve people’s lives. some
example of devices includes.
• watches
• glasses
• contact lenses
• e-textiles and smart fabrics
• headbands
• beanies and caps
• jewelry
• hearing-aid- like devices {design to look like earrings

Wearable Technology is now the pioneer and worldwide leading

innovation and market development platform for technologies worn close to the
body, on the body or even in the body. Wearable technology will continue to
have an impact to modern society of media and information users. For younger
people like you, wearable technologies provide opportunity to mix functionality
with aesthetics. Hard held device and gadgets may be incorporated with one’s
fashion sense while having a mobile access to information. According to the
magazine, “already, the current hand-held devices available to consumers, such
as smart phones, iPods, and tablets, have change the technological and social
landscapes on the global scale, such that walking out in the public and seeing
an individual engaging with a hand-held device is commonplace”
 Smart watch is a wearable computing device that closely resembles a
wristwatch or other time-keeping device. In addition to telling time, many smart
watches are Bluetooth-capable. The watch becomes, in effect, a wireless Bluetooth
adaptor capable.

Fitness tracker. It is a gadget that can be worn by an individual throughout
the day to keep track of various body parameters. Any wearable fitness tracker needs
the person using it to input physiological details such as their weight, height, gender
to help the tracker make better sense of the data that it collects. This personalization
helps in processing the data generated by the fitness tracker. There are a number of
sensors which may be added to a tracker, but most commonly motion sensors are
used to determine body movements.

Heart Rate Monitoring Device. A technology that will calculate and monitor
your heart rate.

Fitbit Charge. This watch is good for exercise. It can count your running time
and the distance.
Smartglass. This smart glass can collect information’s from external
and
internal. You can listen to music too while searching information.

You may have seen computer graphics as well as animations and animatronic
in video, games, movies , and TV shows. 3D graphics environmental have added
texture to our media experience because of the images with we see in three in
dimensional rendering.
According to www.imagearts.ryerson.ca , there are three basic phases in 3D
Computer graphics creation.

1. 3D modeling – the process of forming a computer model of an object’s

shape

2. Layout and amination – the motion of placement of objects within a
scene
3. 3D rendering – the computer calculation that, generate the images
based on
light placement, surface types, and other qualities.
Ubiquitous Learning

Ubiquitous learning, also called u-learning, is the interaction between

humans and computers in order to learn. It’s important to note that the term
computers here doesn’t only refer to desktop and laptop computers. Instead ,
computers are considered any digital device. However, just having a computer or
digital device doesn’t make learning ubiquitous. What separates ubiquitous
learning from the broader term e-learning is that ubiquitous learning evolves
learners being constantly in contact with technology always having the ability to
learn. In a sense , ubiquitous learning is “learning on demand.” This is similar to
mobile learning in
that the learner is not hindered by his or her location.

A student is more involved in the learning process u-learning utilizes all

forms of materials “that may be transferred to mobile devices.” These material
can be videos, audios, PowerPoint presentations, or notes with embedded source
data in them. A student may not be conscious that he or she is undergoing a
learning process even by simply watching the video or reading the notes.
 Characteristics of Ubiquitous Learning

Top researchers in ubiquitous learning describe ubiquitous learning as having

six characteristics. These are:

• Permanency: Both course material and material produced by students is never deleted on
purpose; the only time material is deleted is in unforeseen circumstances. Further, student’s
performance and course materials are continuously being updated.

• Accessibility: Because learning data like coursework, assignments, and lectures are permanent,
students should always have access to the material. Because this material is accessible, students
can be much more self-directed and more independent that previously.

• Immediacy: Students should be able to get information whenever they want. The information
students request may be local, stored on their device, or not local, the data is most likely stored on a
server somewhere and is accessed by
the learner over the internet.

• Interactivity: Learners should be able to interact with other people in their “educational
network.” These people can include the teacher of the course, classmates, or even experts in the
field. Interactivity can be synchronous, requiring participants to be present at the same time, such as
a video conversation or instant messaging chat room, or asynchronous, such as an uploaded video to
Youtube or a forum.

• Situating of instructional activities: The problems and knowledge gained from learning
activities are presented in a natural way or in a way that would mimic a real-world situation.

• Adaptability: Technology should be able to adapt to students’ changing lives.
