What Blackboard, Desire2Learn, and Udacity Should Learn from SJSU

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on September 12, 2013

Listen
As Phil noted in his analysisof the SJSU report, one of the main messages of the report seems to be that some of what we already know about performance and critical success factors for more traditional online courses also seem to apply to xMOOCs. But how good is the ed tech industry at taking advantage […]

SJSU research report confirms MOOCs are online courses

By Phil Hill. Posted on September 12, 2013

Listen
By reading the SJSU research report (download actual report here), one item that really hits me is that however different the scaling model is for MOOCs, they are still online courses and have similar success factors. I am not trying to minimize the value of the report by the title of this post, because there is […]

I have […]

MOOCs, Courseware, and the Course as an Artifact

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on April 12, 2013

Listen
As Phil mentioned in his last post, he and I had the privilege of participating in a two-day ELI webinar on MOOCs. A majority of the speakers had been involved in implementing MOOCs at their institutions in one way or another. And an interesting thing happened. Over the course of the two days, almost none […]

Where xMOOCs and Adaptive Analytics Both Fail (For Now)

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on December 24, 2012

Listen
No, this isn’t just an attempt to cram as many sexy keywords into one post title as possible. xMOOCs and adaptive analytics share an ambition: They both are at least partially motivated by a desire to teach at scale. With MOOCs, the goal is obvious. With adaptive analytics, less so, partly because there are multiple […]
