Educación en abierto: Integración de un MOOC con una asignatura académica

Abstract

Open education begins to consolidate with the OER (Open Educational Resources) appearance, which are open learning resources and accessible on internet. The OCW (OpenCourseware) model is strongly implanted in the university context and the MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) are currently the greatest exponent of open education. This paper is deveoted to show how the interaction between different OER initiatives: OCW, MOOC and Social Networking, for the same academic subject, improves both the subject itself and the involved OER. The model, presented here, integrates the MOOC learning resources: faculty material, professional social networking inside MOOC and open resources generated by MOOC participants. In order to validate the model, the impact on students, after the inclusion of MOOC resources in academic subject, is analyzed with very positive results.
