Massive Online Open Courses: le nuove frontiere dell'esperienza
Massive Online Open Courses: The New Frontiers of Experience
Abstract [ita]
In questa sede si intendono prendere in considerazione le esperienze dei Corsi Aperti Online di Massa (Massive Online Open Courses, MOOC) nei contesti dei Paesi in via di sviluppo e aziendale. Si tratta di esperienze nuove, che si aprono in una fase successiva a quella iniziale che ha visto la nascita dei MOOC nelle università d'élite statunitensi e la loro diffusione in ambito accademico. In entrambi i casi vengono evidenziate le opportunità che, in qualità di sistemi di istruzione e formazione professionale, essi sembrano offrire, le difficoltà che emergono nello sviluppo dei programmi e i conseguenti adattamenti necessari a un’implementazione efficace. L’articolo si conclude con alcune riflessioni contestualizzate sul concetto di qualità e sulle linee evolutive del processo di apprendimento-insegnamento.
Abstract [eng]
Here we intend to take account of the experiences of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC) in the contexts of developing countries and business. These are new experiences that start at a later stage than the initial one,that saw the birth of MOOCs within US élite universities and their diffusion in the academic sphere. In both cases, they are highlighted the opportunities that, as educational and vocational training systems, MOOCs seem to offer, the difficulties that emerge in the development of of programs and the resulting adaptations needed for an effective implementation. The paper concludes with some contestualized reflections on the concept of quality and on the evolutionary lines of the teaching-learning process.
