MOOCs | The University of Melbourne

Foreword The University of Melbourne entered into an agreement with Coursera in September 2012 to offer massive open online courses, or MOOCs, through Coursera’s platform. The University saw MOOCs as an excellent opportunity to participate in what was then an emerging, global, educational movement. It was an opportunity to engage with students the University might otherwise not have engaged with; it was a way for the University community to learn more about teaching and learning online, at scale; and it represented a unique mechanism for the University to pursue its research strengths in educational technology, particularly through the use of learning analytics. The University released its first MOOC – Principles of Macroeconomics – in early 2013 and since this time it has designed, developed and delivered a further ten MOOCs. Seven more MOOCs are destined for release in late 2014 and early 2015. The MOOCs produced by the University of Melbourne showcase its broad research and teaching expertise. Our MOOCs represent diverse discipline areas such as philosophy, genetics, computer science, education, physiology, history and economics. In total, our MOOC courses have attracted over 640,000 expressions of interest from learners worldwide, with approximately half of these starting one of our courses. These MOOCs have been developed through strong collaboration between Faculty members in the University’s academic departments, staff in the Learning Environments department, and the University Library. Collectively we have learnt a great deal from our experiences. We have developed a stronger understanding of online pedagogy, designing open curricula, and constructing assessment tasks at scale. We have refined and improved areas of online learning production, particularly in the area of video production. We have learnt a great deal about copyright. And we have a dedicated research group that is undertaking leading-edge research in the area of learning analytics using data generated from our MOOCs. This report draws upon some of these data. The report presents simple “data snapshots” of each of the University of Melbourne’s MOOCS that have been delivered up to June 2014. The figures presented in this report are predominantly based on data drawn from the databases provided by Coursera. These raw data were then manipulated – aggregated and analysed – to form standardised data snapshots for each MOOC. A glossary of the terms used in this report is provided at the end to assist with interpretation. Our MOOC experience has been incredibly rewarding and we look forward to providing further updates on the University of Melbourne’s experiences.
