MOOCs in STEM
10 Dec 2014
On Friday, 23 January 2015, the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences hosts a one-day seminar on MOOCs in STEM
Much has been written and said in the national and international media about Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in the last few years. It seems that everyone has an opinion about MOOCs: either they are hyped as the next big thing, they will revolutionise higher education for everyone, or they are nothing more than marketing and poor pedagogy which will soon fade away. MOOCs may have significant potential in extending or enhancing current higher education provision in key perceived shortage areas and, as such, their application to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teaching is particularly relevant.
On Friday, 23 January 2015, the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences hosts a one-day seminar on MOOCs in STEM. This will address the current positioning of MOOCs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teaching in higher education. It will include presentations by international leaders in the field and case studies from academics who have successfully delivered MOOCs in the STEM area.
We look forward to welcoming you to share experiences and practical advice on STEM MOOC delivery.
