MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) are online courses aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. They provide interaction and community for students, professors, and teaching assistants. The first MOOC was introduced in 2008 and was called "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge." MOOCs have different purposes such as democratizing education, developing skills, and increasing access to higher education at low cost. They have advantages like being free and allowing informal, self-paced learning but also disadvantages like limited real-world engagement, technical problems, and potential for academic dishonesty. Common fields of interest for MOOCs include life sciences, genetics, evolution, and reproductive and digestive systems.Types of mooc

MOOCs provide opportunities for teachers and learners. For teachers, MOOCs allow for professional development by learning new content and teaching styles. MOOCs can also be added to traditional classes by using MOOC content and discussions. For learners, MOOCs increase access to education and provide flexible, self-paced learning. However, learners need computer access and time to benefit. MOOCs are also driving changes to education through the globalization and digitization of learning.Massive open online course (moocs)

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses that are open to unlimited participation and accessible via the web. They provide educational content and connect students and teachers. While MOOCs allow for global participation and accessibility, they lack the intimacy of in-person communication and make it easier for students to drop out without experiencing university life. However, MOOCs offer opportunities for lifelong learning and engagement through online resources and connectivity.MoocS IN INDIA AND ITS PROSPECTIVE. GOALS

Tourism is defined as activities, services, and industries that deliver travel experiences including transportation, accommodations, food and drink, retail, entertainment, activities, and hospitality services. There are different types of tourists defined by length of stay including excursionists staying less than 24 hours, and foreign tourists staying at least 24 hours. Attractions are the primary motivations for travel and can include natural resources, culture, ethnicity, or entertainment. Tourism relies on facilities, infrastructure, and transportation systems.

Tourism has important social and economic impacts. Socially, it fosters interactions between tourists and local populations, allowing for an exchange of social and cultural experiences. Economically, tourism is a major export industry for many developing countries. It generates foreign exchange earnings without exporting goods, provides stable income, and increases employment opportunities both directly within the tourism industry and indirectly through its wider economic effects. Governments also benefit from substantial tax revenues generated by tourism-related economic activities.Tourism notes

Tourism is one of the world's fastest growing industries due to higher incomes, more leisure time, and lower travel costs. The internet has further fueled tourism growth by enabling online booking and allowing people to research destinations from home. This document discusses tourism from various perspectives including geographical, sociological, historical, managerial, and economic. It defines tourism as temporary travel for leisure or business purposes outside one's normal environment. Tourism is a broader concept than travel, as it includes both the journey and activities at the destination, for pleasure rather than employment reasons.Economic impact of tourism
Economic impact of tourismEman Abbas
油
Globalization and tourism have significant economic impacts both positive and negative. Tourism generates substantial foreign exchange earnings and tax revenues for many countries. However, it also results in leakage of money spent outside the local economy through imports and profits leaving the country. Many places become overly dependent on tourism, and seasonal jobs in the industry lack stability. Both developing and developed countries experience economic benefits and drawbacks from international tourism.Similar to Mooc presentation (20)

The document discusses designing a framework for making use of MOOCs. It begins by defining MOOCs and describing the University of Cape Town's (UCT) MOOCs project goals, which included developing 12 MOOCs to showcase teaching and research. The project encountered experiences like high geographic reach and participation rates. UCT also analyzed MOOC materials licensing and developed a framework for reuse consisting of whole/partial course reuse and materials reuse models. The framework aims to support new pedagogical strategies and opportunities through MOOC creation and adaptation.MOODLE and MOOC

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) allow participants to share readings, videos, and activities despite being far from each other. MOOCs aim to widen access to higher education for millions and enhance quality of life by contributing to the democratization of education. They increase access to courses from world-renowned institutions. The first MOOC was launched in 2008 as "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge" and used various online platforms like Facebook and Wikis to engage students. MOOCs do not limit participation and can be self-directed without formal assessments. Major MOOC providers include Coursera, edX, Udacity, Khan Academy and FutureLearn.

This document discusses massive open online courses (MOOCs) and their implications. It describes key characteristics of MOOCs such as their asynchronous format, open accessibility, and use of video lectures and online assessments. MOOCs allow global access to education and provide benefits like low costs and flexible schedules. However, they also face drawbacks including a lack of structure, limited instructor accessibility, and digital literacy requirements. The widespread adoption of online courses could impact higher education by reducing the importance of physical attendance and enabling cheaper educational management.Mz mandhlazi 201241723

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. They provide interactive forums and communities for students, professors, and TAs. MOOCs have developed out of distance education and allow anyone with internet access to take online courses for free. They provide opportunities for learning, teaching creativity, and connecting a global community of scholars. However, MOOCs also present challenges around student interaction, assessment, and accommodating different learning styles.Mooc activity @university of johannesburg

- 10. cMOOCs versus xMOOCs cMOOCs are not proscriptive and participants set their own learning goals and types of engagement It is tricky to grade or assess or certify The platform is totally open It focus on knowledge creation Crowd sourced learning and feedbacks through peer interaction Emphasis on social networked learning xMOOCs include discussions forums Allow people to bounce ideas around and discuss learning together Leaning is seen as something that can be tested and certified It focus on knowledge duplication Objective feedback from online quiz results Emphasis on video presentation
- 11. Benefits and Downsides Benefits Downsides Able to organise a MOOC in any setting with connectivity Use any online tools that are relevant Use your own devices Work across timezones and boundaries Connect across disciplines and institutions Do not need a degree to enter Improve lifelong learning skills Feeling of chaos Demands digital literacy Demands self-directed learning capacity Requires time and effort (often more than expected) Possible steep learning curve Technology can distract from learning purpose and content
- 12. Principles for Open Learning Provide opportunities and capacity for lifelong learning Learner-centred processes and encourage active engagement leading to independent and critical thinking Flexible provision, allowing learners to increasingly determine where, when, what and how they learn, as well as the pace Prior learning and experience is recognised Conditions created for a fair chance of learner success through learner support, contextually appropriate resources and sound pedagogical practices Saide (2012)
