• Observations OK – Inferences (inductions) KO– Contradictory assertions - many cons-examples – Different educational practices, different interaction modes ,
etc.
• How can we describe a MOOC ?• How can we balance between comprehensiveness
and relevance ?
Characterizing the problem

Methodology
• Choice– Using what is existing each time it’s possible
• State of the art – Types of MOOCs – Features of a MOOC
• Application to four examples of MOOCs• Making Proposals• Defining how to validate them

State of the art version on
• Description frameworks for TEL devices and MOOCs• Existing typologies for MOOCs– cMOOC, xMOOC [Downes]– Content-based MOOC, Task-based MOOC (tMOOC),
Network-based MOOC [Lane 2012]– cMOOC, iMOOC, xMOOC [Gilliot et al.]– TransferMOOC, MadeMOOC, SynchMOOC,
aSynchMOOC, AdaptativeMOOC, GroupMOOC, MiniMOOC, ConnectivistMOOC [Clark 2013]
(Yesterday : pMOOC, LMOOC, SOOC, TOOC, MOOCI, …)

A state of the art discussion
• We explored the limits of these Typologies & frameworks– Too many acronyms – Two MOOCs of the same type could be so different
None of these typologies matches our needs Something in the state of the art for TEL convene
• The frameworks – … for TEL don’t take into account social aspects– … for MOOC : what is the building principle No pre-existing framework allows us to describe a MOOC in a satisfactory manner

Introduction of our proposals (1/2)
• 2 outline proposals– An initial (temporary) typology– A description framework
• Building and validation of our Proposals – A typology: using an existing one– A description framework• Incremental building: one theoretical framework at a time • Tested on an existing MOOC, yet• Validation by applying it to other MOOCs (TBP)

Introduction of our proposals (2/2)
• For whom?– Researchers
• With which point of view?– To find methodological tools– To allow to define descriptors
• With what level of detail?– Not too deep, not too large
Everything needn’t to be filledExtensible Framework

1st Proposal : using the 6 configuration of [Hy-Sup 2012]
1. Stage (Scene): content-oriented teaching, support to face-to-face education, with mainly textual resources
2. Screen: stage with added multimedia resources
3. Cockpit: course organization oriented teaching, guided by the use of tools (and sometimes integrating relational and reflective goals)
4. Crew: for learning focused on supporting the process of knowledge construction and on interpersonal interactions
5. Public Space: learning centered on the opening of the training device to external resources
6. Ecosystem: learning by operating a large number of technological and educational opportunities
11/02/14
• Designed for blended learning in Higher Education• 6 configurations
Our description framework at a glance…

2nd proposal : main dimensions of a description
framework
We have chosen our main dimensionBased on theoretical frameworks

Trend
• Methodology to test our proposals– Implementing a platform using • semantic web tools, • metadata • and standardsFor researchers, who accompany MOOC designers, to describe a MOOC
– Using EDM on our collection of MOOC descriptions to improve our temporary typology based on Hy-Sup configurations

MR, PAC & JH - eMOOC'2014 14
Conclusion
• Defining 6 types of MOOCs: stage, screen, cockpit, crew, public space & ecosystem
• Structuring features of a MOOC in 8 dimensions
Should be refined based on feedbacks and contributions of researchers from diverse horizons
