Abstract | The world of higher education is abuzz with this MOOC thing. The success of the connectivist MOOC model has been proof of concept that courses can be run for thousands of students at a time, and universities are jumping on the bandwagon in droves. On the other hand, whereas tools to implement MOOCs are proliferating, and universities are experimenting with them in a big way, they are being mounted on a loss-leader basis at present, and many respond, when asked what they think of MOOCs, that they have never heard of them. In this article, the authors will explain what a MOOC is, examine some precursors of MOOCs, and track how the MOOC hydra has evolved at least two heads since 2008. Finally, they will come to some understanding of the significance of MOOCs with respect to language learning and teacher training. (Verlag). |
