![Page 5: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Agreement Deliverable• Development of a ‘massive open online
course’ on death, dying and palliative care in Australia to build community awareness of palliative care and death as a normal process

About MOOCs
![Page 7: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What are MOOCs?• Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are
(usually) freely available short online courses that anyone can participate in. Precursors include:– Distance learning (19th century Australians participated in
correspondence courses - London School of Economics), – Open University (1969) combined correspondence
instruction, supplementary broadcasting and publishing, residential short courses and support services at local and regional levels. Much of the MOOC philosophy is based on their approach to higher education.
– The 1990’s saw digital improvements for teaching such as CD-Rom, more user-friendly software

MOOC History• 1st MOOC (2008) ‘Connectivism and Connective
Knowledge’ University of Manitoba, Canada. – 2,200 registrants with 170 completing individual blogs.
Designed to be used by people who used social media (Twitter, second life, blogs etc..)

Why offer MOOCs?• Traditionally, platforms for dissemination of
University courses– Way to efficiently deliver online courses to a wide
field of students– Take advantage of the web, rather than trying to
mimic a classroom virtually• Response to desire and demand in the
community
![Page 10: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MOOCs as digital activity?• Possibilities of participation through
technology• Online but not necessarily alone• Rethinking activities and social engagement
online• Continuing inequity (internet access,
computer availability)
![Page 11: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Developing the CareSearch MOOC
![Page 12: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why a CareSearch MOOC?• To hear the consumer voice, particularly
the voice of “well”• To elicit needs as identified by “one day”
palliative care consumers• To reach a different audience• To facilitate the development of new
resources for use within the project
![Page 13: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Research and UnderstandingThis work contributes directly to the role of digital media and social networks in health care and to research methods using digital health and social media.
– Analysis of participant characteristics (eg, gender, age, postcode)
– Content analysis of MOOC participants blogs and engagement
![Page 14: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

![Page 15: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CareSearch MOOC principles• Sociological not just biomedical eg, social
versus biological death (dementia)• Peer to peer social activism / building social
capital • Community driven / concepts that have
impacted on them • The participant is viewed as a contributor, not
a recipient
![Page 16: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What do participants do?• It is envisaged that it will run for 6 weeks, and
will be offered twice• Participants will have:
– learning goals - some of which may be prescribed but can also be self-directed.
– the ability to work at their own pace through the program
– a sense of achievement or meeting objectives on completion
![Page 17: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What do participants do?• Each week will feature a new
topic:– No laughing matter (Attitudes /
perspectives ) – When are we dead? (cryogenics, dementia)– How do people engage with D&D?
(language used)– Death as a problem that needs to be fixed
(reversible, medical model)– Representation of D&D in the arts / media– Digital Dying (social media, digital legacy)
![Page 18: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What do participants do?• They will have tasks or activities to
complete and resources will be provided– Can bring in things to share– Will be a digital repository – Social capital value
• The resources made available or developed will be available after the MOOC has finished (openly available)
![Page 19: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
MOOC planning• We have had initial discussions with
Flinders University re: sourcing an appropriate platform to host the MOOC. Further investigations underway
• We have had preliminary discussions with community partners (eg, the Groundswell Project / Dying to Know Day)
![Page 20: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CareSearch contract deliverables• The MOOC is intended for release during
National Palliative Care Week 2016 (May). • Any products from the “calls to action” of
participants will be accumulated and presented for release in August 2016 for ‘Dying to Know Day’.
• The requirements are for there to be 500 registered users by June 2017
![Page 21: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Issues and Considerations
![Page 22: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Considerations• No one is interested• Supporting the use of technology by less
sophisticated users• More technologically sophisticated
participants than leaders• Handling complex issues (eg euthanasia)• Maintaining community if too many
participants
![Page 23: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Assessing value• Review of activity to assess usefulness
against costs and resources in creating and running
• Role in the range of CareSearch activities• Suitability for other topics (eg bereavement,
caring)• Disempowering or empowering consumers
![Page 24: 'Using digital technology to engage with the community', by Deb Rawlings and Dr Jennifer Tieman, CareSearch](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58ef8dc91a28ab503f8b4637/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
