Anant Agarwal: Why massively open online courses (still) matter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- 2013 was a year of hype for MOOCs (massively open online courses). Great big numbers and great big hopes were followed by some disappointing first results. But the head of edX, Anant Agarwal, makes the case that MOOCs still matter -- as a way to share high-level learning widely and supplement (but perhaps not replace) traditional classrooms. Agarwal shares his vision of blended learning, where teachers create the ideal learning experience for 21st century students.

So this guy predicted a future because today everyone has online classrooms. Love it! haha
People will look back on this video one day and realize history was made. Heading to edX now.
I'm currently in university. I go to my classes and daydream while the professor talks, then I go home and try to teach myself the material. I don't have the attention span to sit and listen to someone lecture me. I think that moving towards a world where people can learn with a pause button is promising.
Ellellevlog same here
Online Education is the new paradigm of education, big schools are just now accepting that.
Ellellevlog ruclips.net/video/bDNB6BR1v7s/видео.html
sounds like a waste of attending university...
You and moi in the same boat.. smh
This is very underrated video
Yes
Hah! I did circuits and electronics 6002x online about a year ago and it was great, Anant Agarwal was the professor!
Forgot to mention the turning a pickle into a light source, 'a pickle is also a lumped element' as he would say.
This TED is incredible! Lectures like this makes me remind how I love to learn!
Thank you!
lovr
This video needs to be shared. The information is outstanding. I am a beneficiary of edx and I am so blessed to have found this resource. It has transformed my life.
There's no way a person like me from a poor country, Liberia, could have afforded the quality of education I receive on edx.
I just discovered edx and I enrolled on my first course yesterday and we share the same woes, am Kenyan and edx is about to change my life tbh
I can see your pasion, Anant. I can see your great work as an agent of changes. Uau!!! (that is for me, because I found three words that expresses my admiration): Bravo!!! Congratulations!!! Thank you!!!
how come idea videos like waffles and many other cats video's have more views than this absolutely revolutionary speech. he is talking about future and only got 160,867 views .
One reason is that everyone is stressed out. Animal videos are remedy for stress. It's crazy but that's my thought.
6:00 "Tiny fast thumbs developed from evolution"....I laughed out loud with a creeped out undertone.
Fantastic speech, thank you very much!!!
Hello Sir, Thanks for giving this nice speech for online courses and I think about why online courses are really matter or not in education word. And I liked this video and people need to know about. If you need some help so you can go through this link address.(goo.gl/Z7cY9J)
We shouldn't forget that a lot of MOOC participants aren't usual first semester students but highly educated men and women who already have got one ore more graduations. They're doctors, professors and similar. They know how to learn on their own. The presented techniques may work well if you're able to learn autonomically, but that is not always given.
I agree and I'm also questioning the method that they would use to evaluate the students. If they do it online, then there's a very high chance that students cheat to get the grades that they want, which would eliminate the whole point of this process. The only way I suppose they can evaluate students would be through testing centres that the students can go to for their evaluations.
Every students need to learn how to learn by themselves when they start higher education, whether their courses are MOOCs or traditional ones ;)
The point is to make MOOC the new standard of college/university learning. Sit-and-Listen-for-hours is just not working for many people, it is a failing system.
Actually, I totally agree with you on that point, because I've found myself falling asleep in some of my classes. I understand that's what he's trying to address, but we also have to address the flaws to his system if we're to search for a better solution to university/college education.
The fact that learning to 'teach ones self' is not the standard in today's grade schools is highly disturbing to me. You shouldn't need higher education to learn how to learn. I was just lucky enough to be the kind of person who fell into that without the help of grade school.
On a similar note, if you experiment with different sources(different books(you'll eventually find a pattern of book styles that help you retain knowledge), MOOCs, professional communities, etc; as I've proposed in a few other replies here, but for different reasons) you can start to feel out your own personal learning style and figure out how to learn autonomously if that's something you currently have trouble with. If you need to be kept in check to stay on course then use the buddy system.
edx is awesome, can't wait until my new course starts!
The main reason to go to a university remains mostly social. Forming relationships, connections, and discussions. Covid will illuminate just how significant the need for change is...
Who else is here in 2022 because of edX? Thanks to all the great minds who spread the knowledge.
Agree with most of these ideas. BUT (and this is a big but) some subjects lend themselves to this approach more than others AND some students are more self motivated than others!
Yes Sherry, you are right. The main concern is assure we are ADDING a new model, instead of REPLACING the current model by this one.
_"and this is a big butt"_
That's what she said
About self-motivation: I think all students can become self-motivated when they are learning what they want to learn. In this new, self-paced model for education, students will be able to learn WHAT they want WHEN they want to learn it.
Of course, there will have to be some minimum requirements.
But in this self-paced model, genius will emerge sooner and more often when students have the time and means to discover what they love.
I believe that as more content gets online and as more people turn to the Internet for education, all subjects will find a way to be taught through this tech-powered method. There will always be a need for people---for fellow students, for professors, for TAs---to enrich the experience with discussion and practice problem-solving, and eliminate whatever computer error there might be. But the information can be conveyed without the need for a person to be in the same room.
RutzMac
Furthermore about self-motivation, the only thing we have to speak for her view of this is people within the current educational paradigm. There will always be the occasional slacker, but most people won't be slacking willingly. They just have their motivation and creativity crushed by overly rigid school systems.
Had schools started implementing this strategy back then, they would have been way better prepared for 2020.
Learning to teach is becoming Teaching to learn through MOOC! It's great to be part of it!
Happy to see I was not the only one who got lost in class because I coudln't take notes fast enough (plus I struggled trying to read the blackboard). In fact, even people with mental disorders can benefit enormously from this, studying feeling calm at home (Social anxiety disorder (SAD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ...). I really hope more and more people will learn like this; I love pausing, rewinding, selecting x1.25 most of the time, ... This is priceless. Thank you.
Edx pls accept my financial aid application 😭😭
I'm currently doing an iversity MOOC in astrophysics. It's free to enrol, it's really interesting, and thoroughly enjoyable. I could never afford to pay for an equivalent qualification from a traditional University and because I'm a full-time carer I'm not able to go out to attend lectures and seminars etc.. so studying from home is ideal. MOOCs get a huge thumbs up from me !
For example khan academy, www.khanacademy.org/a/yfwm.
Les cours en ligne sur edx est pour moi une grande opportunité d'élargir mes connaissances car j'ai pu apprendre un cours autre que ma filière que j'ai prise comme carrière.Par Edx j'ai pu étudier a mon propre rythme dans un grande institution internationale que peut être je n'aurais jamais l'occasion dans ma vie d'y étudier.Merci donc a Edx et je lui souhaite yoyeux anniversaire.
Coursera is already a massive open course hub. There are a lot of good classes, some terrible ones, but a ton of useful and interesting material comes out of that site. Duolingo is also awesome.
Duolingo is addictive
Leo Paphitis Duolingo only offers a few Western languages. I would love to use it if there was something I was interested in.
Estoy en un curso de Edx y dieron este video dentro de las tareas. Me pareció una exposición genial que une algo que toda presentación de un tema debieses tener:
- Una persona real (lo cual en estos tiempos es importante de destacar así como vamos, en que piensan reemplazar a las personas para toda actividad, llegando a una exageración).
- Un tema interesante explicado de una manera simple, ya que con el se llega a todos, expertos y no expertos del área.
- Una forma amena, entretenida de exposición, lo que permite mantener la concentración por más tiempo, y además, conservar el contenido con mayor facilidad.
Muchas gracias.
Fantastic speech! I'm interested to learn even more about MOOCs!

i was really too late to recognize this is miracle
I completed 3 online courses, and I attend 2 at the moment... It's the best thing I did for myself... And Circuits and electronics with prof.Agarwal was my first course. He was right when he said the students dream about green checkmark :)))
Join our MOOC on Oriental Beliefs organized by Université Catholique de Louvain. We're on edX!
i‘d like to be reincarnated back just to re-do med school this way, please.

The Ted-Talk "Why massively open online courses (still) matter" by Anant Agarwal perfectly describes our online continuing education mission at dentaltown. Our online CE courses have been viewed over half a million times from dentists around the world as we try to even out the asymmetry of dental knowledge so that every dentists on earth can perform dentistry faster, easier, higher in quality and lower in cost. The last big technological advancement in education was the printing press over 500 years ago. Today’s internet, via smart phones, will be able to scale knowledge faster and for a lower cost than anything ever seen to date. I would like to profoundly thank all the dentists who have created online CE courses for Dentaltown as these courses are becoming an integral part of the curriculum at dental schools around the world. Howard Farran DDS, MBA
I have been fortunate in my life to have been able to visit many countries around the world. I have always believed that most Americans have almost no idea on just how rich they are. When you tell Americans they have 5% of the earth’s population and over 25% of all the money, most do not fully comprehend it. When you tell them 3 billion people earn less than $3 a day, most still don’t really get it because you really have to see it to believe it.
Howard Farran Thanks for all you are doing to move this message ahead, Howard. SO important.
Is a Harvard certificate of a course in edx really worth it? I mean, in order to get a raise or a job? Im in the middle of one course, very good btw, but I dont know if I should pay for the certificate.
I heared that its worth a lot as a skils and improving yourself. But not abig deal when it comes to the paper certificate> in general
This is not a dream anymore. It's happening now!
I text her she responds, it's absolutely great..!
Fantastic video. Love stuff like this when I'm feeling discouraged.
Greatest thought brings in greatest outcome. Education will be reshaped into a new dimension.
Good Ted... Congratulations!
MOOC has brought higher education from few elites to the masses. It is really transforming education. Dr. Rajneesh Kumar Gupta, Central University of Gujarat
Anant saw the "future"
Incredible
The talk regarding the online courses is very motivating. its a giant leap to the field of education. thank you sir.
"..where they don't even have the rewind button". that's a profound ending. "how else do we tell our grandchildren" that THAT yolo skill is necessary.
A most amazing video.
Regret that I discovered it so late.
The service edx has rendered to education and millions of learners across the world is remarkable indeed.
Kudos to Mr. Anant and the entire team of MIT for the noble and innovative initiative.
Thanks a lot.
You can't regret something that was not in your control. You could WISH you discovered it earlier.
edX courses cost some $150. how come some people from a poor country would be able to afford it?? FYI ($150 is an average monthly income of a full time working adult in those countries)
I think you can audit some of them, which obviously isn't ideal, but I guess they still have to make money to pay for the web hosting and such.
Courses are good but pretty expensive for verified certificate
This is gold. I discover edx last year by accident looking for online certification program.
I am sorry sir you cant afford to invent a new gas to breath in instead of oxygen.Learning has its own standardised fundamental model, where in eye contact of teacher ,nonverbal communication and silence in presence of a learned teacher have their own beauty.Your computers ,modern technology can never replace teachers .EXPERIENCING IS SOME THING ROBOTS CANT DO FOR YOU.please understand learning experience is some thing that demands a teacher.(Some scholars do have their own self as their teacher of course )
I still am not sure about MOOCs as a replacement for traditional university education. However, they are fantastic for additional learning, certifications, etc. I am currently working - slowly - through a programming class at Coursera. I don't want a degree in computer science, but I would like to selectively learn more. Fortunately, I am disciplined enough to self learn and, since I am not pursuing any type of certification, this is a great vehicle to use simply to gain knowledge.
❤️
You predicted a future in a way that people are in it now in Pandemic.
I would like to share an spanish translation for those like who need it ( it´s not the best but least i tried t):
Anant Agarwal: Porque los cursos abiertos masivos online (siguen) importando
Me gustaría que re imaginar la educación.
En último año he visto la invención de nueva palabra, empieza con una “C”, CAMO, Cursos Abiertos Masivos Online; muchas organizaciones están ofreciendo estos cursos alrededor del mundo al por mayor, gratis, cualquier persona con acceso a internet puede participar de estos cursos de excelente universidades y obtener un certificado al final de el.
Ahora, en esta reunión, hoy me gustaría enfocarme en un aspecto diferente de los “CAMO”, estamos tomando lo que estamos aprendiendo de las tecnologías que estamos desarrollando a lo grande y lo estamos aplicando a lo pequeño, para crear un Modelo Mezclado de educación para reinventar, re imaginar lo que se hace en el salón de clases.
Ahora nuestros salones de clases no han cambiado, aquí les presento una foto de un salón de clases de hace 50 años, y ahora un salón actual de clases de una universidad de 3 letras. La educación NO ha cambiado en los últimos 500 años, la última innovación de la educación fue la Imprenta y los libros de texto.
Todo lo que nos rodea ha cambiado, desde establecimientos que atienden la saludos, transporte, todo ha cambiado y es diferente, pero la educación no ha cambiado. Uno de los problemas mas importantes es la accesibilidad
En la siguiente imagen, lo que ven no es un concierto, y la persona que está al frente no es Madona, esta es una clase de una universidad de Nigeria, Ahora, antes de la educación a distancia, por ejemplo los estudiantes en la parte trasera están a más de 200 pies, ellos están tomando clases a “Larga distancia”. Yo creo que podemos transformar la educación, tanto en calidad, escala y accesibilidad atreves de la tecnología.
Por ejemplo EDX, están tratando de transformar la educación a través de las tecnologías online. Al pensar en la educación que no ha cambiado en los últimos 500 años, no podemos reinventarla o administrarla mejor, realmente tenemos que Re imaginárnosla, incluso infraestructura, todo tiene que cambiar. Debemos ir de lecturas en la pizarra, a ejercicios online, videos online, tenemos que ir desde laboratorios interactivos y dar resultados, tenemos que ir desde clases completamente online y salas de interacción, tenemos que cambiar completamente.
Así que como EDX y otras organizaciones, estamos aplicando este tipo de educación través de CAMO’s para incrementar la accesibilidad a la educación, y a lo mejor ha escuchado de este ejemplo, cuando lanzan por primera vez un curso, por ejemplo el de MIT, 155 mil estudiantes de 150 países terminaron este curso, sin ningún presupuesto de Marketing, ahora 155 mil es un gran número muy grande tan grande como en los últimos 150 años de la carrera de MIT. 7200 estudiantes pasaron el curso, este fue un curso difícil; ahora 7200 es un gran numero también, si yo enseñara la carreta de MIT, dos semestres cada año, tendría que enseñar por 40 años antes de poder enseñar a esa cantidad de estudiantes. Pero todos estos números son solo una parte de la historia, así que lo que quiero hacer hoy es discutir el otro aspecto de los libros, tomar otra perspectiva, esto es, tomar las tecnologías grandes y aplicarlo a lo pequeño, para crear un modelo Mezclado de aprendizaje, pero antes de entrar en ese asunto déjenme contarles una historia.
Cuando mi hija cumplió los 13 años y se convirtió en una joven dejo de hablar inglés y comenzó a hablar un nuevo lenguaje, idioma, lo llamo, Teenglish (Ingles jovial), es un lenguaje digital, tiene dos sonidos, un “Mmm”, y el silencio, por ejemplo, “Mi amor, ven a cenar” el papá dice, y la hija responde con un “MMmm”, el padre pregunta, ¿Me escuchaste?, la hija responde con silencio, ¿me puedes escuchar? El padre pregunta de nuevo, y la hija responde nuevamente con un “mm”.
Así que teníamos un pequeño problema con nuestra comunicación, no nos comunicábamos, así que un día tuve una epifanía, le mande un mensaje de texto desde mi celular, y obtuve una respuesta instantánea, pensé que ella se había equivocado, suponiendo que era uno de sus amigos; así que le mande otro mensaje de texto, y ella respondió inmediatamente, pensé que eso era genial, desde ese entonces todo ha sido genial, le mando un mensaje, ella responde y nos comunicamos, todo es grandioso.
Nuestra generación Milenial es diferente, han sido formados de diferente manera, aunque en RUclips me veo más joven, no soy un milenial, ellos están cómodamente acostumbrados a las tecnologías online, cuando discutimos en los salones de clase, no discutamos, entendamos el tema y apoyémoslo, yo no puedo mensajear como ellos en el celular, la evolución se encargara de eso.
Debemos darle entrada a las tecnologías online, a la generación Milenaria, realmente piensen en crear todas esas tecnologías online y licuen la información en sus vidas. Por ejemplo algo que pueden hacer en lugar de llevarlos a la escuela, meterlos a un salón a las 8 de la mañana, odio cuando las clases empezaban a las 8 de la mañana, porque forzamos a los muchachos a hacer lo mismo, esto es lo pueden hacer, ponerlos a ver videos, resolver ejercicios en sus propios dormitorios, en el comedor, en el baño, el lugar donde sean más creativos, luego entran al salón por mas relaciones impersonales, pueden hablar con sus compañeros, tener discusiones, resolver problemas juntos, trabajar con el profesor, y pedirle al profesor que les resuelva sus dudas, de hecho cuando están en EDX, cuando están en su primer curso de circ. uitos electrónicos esto nos viene pasando muy a menudo
Dos maestros de preparatoria en Mongolia han transformado sus clases, están usando los videos y nuestros ejercicios interactivos con los estudiantes de 15 años trabajando por ellos mismos, llevando los ejercicios a la casa y trabajando en casa, regresa a interactuar con el grupo y realizar algunos ejercicios de laboratorio.
También tenemos otros pruebas piloto, un curso piloto de educación mezclada estamos trabajando con la universidad de San Jose California, de nuevo con el curso de circuitos electrónicos, esto lo oirán repetidas veces, este curso se ha convertido en una gran tradición de nuestro aprendizaje; de nuevo, los maestros transforman la clase mesclando los conocimientos con las personas, y vemos resultados lo cuales ellos todavía no lo llevan al banco de datos, pero los resultados son increíbles. Atreves de los años que este curso se ha impartido ha tenido un porcentaje de egresados, ya que es un curso difícil, cerca del 40- 41% cada semestre, con esta clase mezclada en el último año el fracaso decayó al 9%, así que los resultados pueden ser extremadamente buenos, pero antes de que nos adentremos en este tema me gustaría discutir algunas ideas principales sobre esto, ¿Cuáles son las ideas principales que hacen que todo esto funcione?
Una idea es el aprendizaje Activo, en lugar de que entren a un salón donde se les imparta un libro, los estudiantes tienen lecciones, las lecciones son una serie de videos y de ejercicios interactivos. Los estudiantes verán un video de entre 5 y 7 minutos, seguido de ejercicios interactivos, piense sobre esto como la mejor manera de educar, los educar a través de hacerles preguntas, y esto es lo que llamamos Aprendizaje Activo, el cual fue formulado en los años 70’s por Craik y Lockhart, que mencionaba que el aprendizaje, comprensión y la retención tenía que ver mucho con el proceso mental, los estudiante aprenden mejor cuando interactúan con el material
El siguiente punto es el hecho de que ellos controlen la clase, pueden presionar el botón de encendido cuando ellos quieras, escuchar al profesor cuando ellos quieran, incluso callar al profesor cuando ellos quieran, de tal manera que el proceso de que el alumno se auto eduque puede ayudar mucho.
La tercer idea que quiero comentarles es la retroalimentación instantánea, con la retroalimentación instantánea la computadora analiza los ejercicios, cuando se enseña a 155 mil estudiantes, la computadora lee los ejercicios, puedes incluso ingresar las respuestas de los ejercicios, y los resultados llegaran dos semanas después, incluso podrás haberte olvidado de ellos. Con la retroalimentación instantánea los alumnos pueden saber si lo están haciendo bien o mal tener respuestas instantáneas, hasta poder resolverlo de manera correcta, y así obtener la retroalimentación instantánea. Esta marca verde que ven se ha convertido en uno de los certificados más importantes en EDX, los estudios nos han comprobado que los estudiantes incluso duermen soñando con la marca verde. Tenemos el caso de un estudiante que después e haber intentado varias veces un ejercicio obtuvo una marca verde y luego coloco un comentario como este: “Oh dios, como te he extrañado”, refiriéndose a la marca verde, nos sorprende escuchar esto, cuando nos íbamos a imaginar que un estudiante se exprese así de “Tarea”.
Mi colega me comenta que la retroalimentación instantánea consiste en enseñar en los momentos de obtener resultado.
El curto punto es permitir que ellos construyan, en nuestros laboratorios online, les permitimos construir modelos, y así las computadoras se actualizarán, construir modelos como Legos.
La quinta idea, es el aprendizaje puro, aquí usamos foros de discusión, interacción, incluso el Facebook lo usamos para este fin, no como una distracción, sino para ayudar a los estudiantes a aprender. Déjenme contarles una historia, cuando estábamos enseñando a los 155 mil estudiantes, sabíamos que tendrían dudas, así que nos organizamos para poder abrir el fórum 24/7 y nos preguntábamos como lo podríamos hacer, así que en la noche un estudiante de Pakistán hizo una pregunta y mientras yo escribía la respuesta otro estudiante de Egipto le respondió, y antes de que yo termine otro estudiante de USA también ofreció una respuesta, así que me senté fascinado por lo que estaba ocurriendo, y así que toda la noche los estudiantes estaban discutiendo y antes de la 1 de la mañana ellos habían descubierto la respuesta correcta
Algo que nos están diciendo, es que los estudiantes esta aprendiendo uno del otro, están aprendiendo al Enseñar. Pero esto no es cosa del futuro, está pasando en nuestros días, en el hoy, por eso estamos aplicando estos pruebas pilotos de educación mezclada. Este modelo lo estamos aplicando en todo el mundo, y esto puede resolver el problema practico de los “CAMO’s”, el problema del negocio, incluso podemos vender todos estos cursos a universidades, así que las universidades pueden darnos los certificados o licencias como profesores y usar todos estos cursos como al siguiente generación de libros de texto y usarlos todo lo que podamos, se convertirán en más herramientas para los maestros.
Finalmente me gustarían que Re imaginen conmigo la educación, tendremos que mudarnos de corredores de aprendizaje a espacios online, de libros de texto a Tabletas, de salones construidos de block y cemento a Dormitorios digitales,
If i had a "flipped classroom" through grades 1-10 it would have made school so much less painful for me. Most courses bored me and felt like they were in slow motion, and the few courses where i was interested were disengaging with little practical work or challenge.
I know your feel.
Gull- Ahh ,that feeling of your brain being slowly turned to cream cheese from the inside out as you crawl through the same work again and again to accommodate the slowest students in the class.

"Given education has been calcified for 500 years, {...}We really have to completely reimagine it."
Thank you !!! We know more than we used to and our needs are differents. It's so nice to see change is coming somehow.
This is great and all (really it is an exciting prospect for the future of education), but you can't ignore the fact that schools are microcosms of society which we use to socialize our wild children. Arguably a role superseding that of education.
Now, an idea like this splits the old method into two, refining the hell out of the education part, and presenting a modern ultra effective alternative. What's been done with the other half? It's been left on your work table as scraps to rot. If you really want to push for a change here you can't just ignore that other half. Maybe someone else will come along and make something out of what you left behind, but it's irresponsible to rely on that.
If you really want to push for a change to the structure of the education system which governments would be comfortable embracing, a replacement system for socialization must be presented. Otherwise your efforts will be ignored, criticized, or actively undermined.

Anant Agarwal (MIT Professor) talks about re-inventing education using various techno-tools including Facebook, and videos, and games. Mixing everything nicely, we can make a real learning experience. This is one of the amazing ideas connected to Education. Highly recommended for everyone. Dear Teachers, kindly watch this video before you entering into a classroom.
Now if we could make sure it stays free, so that all may benefit from the knowledge of humanity.
Yes today time demands online learning now!!
Future of learning lies in online and distant mode
2014 Anant Agarwal: Why go tohe classroom 8 in the morning. Watch them in the comfort of dorm room.
2020: Say no more buddy!
edX is lovely, it gives many people a second chance and that is why I praise technology developement. for having a better society with cheap or free education for everybody around the globe, learning becomes everybody's daily habit. We are so blessed that we can see such a thing n our lifetime. lovely.
155.600 matriculados y tan solo siete mil y pico aprobaron, pues...............bastante preocupante el fenómeno de deserción...... no? Un sistema de este naturaleza no es muy bueno que digamos....
I've tried several EdX and Coursera MOOCs. They have mostly kinda sucked. A lot of them don't really teach well. They just give a homework assignment and then you have to pour through 1,000 posts on the discussion page to get any insight into how to do it.
How are they fighting technology, even in kindergartens here in Sweden they give iPads and such to little kids, that's a bit extreme. This isn't something new, almost every upper secondary school has an online learning platform and are given e.g. macbooks..
This channel is like an ocean of interesting and very useful information.
LoL a source of primary information and a discussion board........how do you think computer geeks have been learning for DECADES, and many others for years. There are many people out there that know as much as a PhD and have no paper to document it aside from their peers on the forums they have learned with........... I remember about the ted talk where a teacher dropped a solar powered kiosk in various markets in India, and the kids taught themselves how to work the computer, learned computer English and were learning on their own. Universities are dead, they just don't realize it yet..........
Yes, just discovering EdX myself, feel so behind in all this, BUT I am catching up!
Awesome! Wonder what will happen to the 529 funds people are saving for college tuition 10 years from now.
Nice speech, Thank you sir
Awesome.MOOC's are changing lives,bringing education to the places where it was otherwise unimaginable
Looking at the presentation I am involuntarily asking myself a question "what this guy is trying to sell me, what is he peddling". This is not a lecture, this is a sales pitch, full of buzz words like blended education, distance learning, moocs, gamefication etc. When he started to shout "we have to change everything" he immidiately reminded me of Lenin and his Bolshevik revolution. And then, he is lying - it is not true that education has not changed in the last 400 years - it changed tremendously.
EdX is a recent discovery for me and as far as I am concerned, it is greatest thing to have ever happened to education
From:- Dr. Jignesh Limbachiya
There is less pressure on MOOC courses for both people: The Student, and the Teacher. And because of that some of MOOC have exceptionnal quality, some even better than the traditional classes. Though MOOC certificates can't replace a degree.
He shares my vision about education!
same here
... und wo findisch Du die MOOCs?
Andreas Schmid one example (there are probably more) would be www.coursera.org
George Vlachos Andreas Schmid infact, the whole internet itself, is becoming more advanced that we wont need to study at all - we study all the time just by being online... so, yah....
mine too :)
This is an awesome step forward in revolutionizing education. I am starting my second online course from Harvard through EdX and it's amazing to know I am learning with the best possible. So glad to live in these times. Love learning. Love EdX. Thank you so much .
I love u professor, I am currently doing a course from Harvard, and never would have thought about it without edx
I enrolled in 2013; dropped out within a few months. Fast forward to covid-struck world in 2020/2021: On February 25, 2021, I resumed MITs 6.002 Circuits and Electronics for the second time. I am determined to excel this time .
I bet that most of here are from edX.
De verdad agradecido de ver que no estaba tan perdido con respecto a la evolución de la educación.
he is from IIT Madras :)
Most MOOCs are just Education 1.0 put online minus marketable credit. Education 2.0 would involve near constant interactivity, gamification, differentiated pacing and presentational style, and torrent style interpersonal tutoring.
Great Talk. I just enrolled in the course "Blockchain for Business - An Introduction to Hyperledger Technologies" with edX.
Are you still interested in Blockchain after 3 years?
I've taken ONLINE classes both college and career. They were great but interaction is key with measurement tracking.
THANK KTHULHU! The mere thought of how outdated the current method of learning is enrages me to no end. Forcing students to travel for an hour to the lecture hall, sitting your ass off for 2 hours taking notes (ridiculously inefficient method of acquiring information), traveling back home for another hour, before you can finally get the chance to start learning. COMPARE THAT to the information simply being sent via email to spend the time at your comfort learning everything. it is nothing short of being so inefficient to become insulting for the student.
Doing a MOOC course by the University of Harvard does not make a course take a Harvard graduate, even not near to skills and capabilities they acquire in campus. Why? Often online learners are observed to looking for the need of being cared and supervised by some one. Online or MOOC instructor does not fulfil those aspirations. Why? We were social animals. We are social animals. When you tell the university will be converted into heritage buildings where our grand children will visit as the place their grandparents used to study seem hype. Simply hype.
RIP universities (in the traditional sense of, pay-absurd-fees-for-an-ultra-selective-institution-just-for-the-brand-name). It's ironic how MIT and Havard are paving the way with this. I'm not complaining though.
Goodbye, education cartel. I can't wait to see them flipping burgers. They could have adopted some of these ideas long before there even were computers, but it would have meant less money for them.
Brilliant. Thank you very much.
The ever challenging problems of higher education like expansion and equity may be solved by MOOCs
Distance - online- learning provide time flexibility ,multi options & diminish distance to reach out for your goals but still the physical interaction is a core element in our life as we are social creatures .
On line education is not a black and white topic, it has both down sides and upsides.
Loved the video! Would love to connect.

I see your point, you don't want a bunch of lazy people living off the system. Just saying it would be nice if it stayed free to help people that can't afford a higher class education, still receive one. This makes the amount of people this can reach with one teacher so much more than standard practices. You could sell it but mite as well give it away to help everybody Until it is accepted all teachers and profs will still have jobs. Unlike some postal workers the internet makes so much obsolete.
Very good , it's great for the next generation
