Mixing and blending MOOC Technologies with face-to-face pedagogies

Abstract

The emergence of MOOCs has boosted the use of educational technology in all possible contexts. How can MOOC affordances, such as rich multimedia content, interactive exercises, and social networks, be harnessed in face-to-face education? In this paper, we present some experiences carried out at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid that combine MOOC-like content in on-campus courses. We believe that this is the most promising and useful way to use the affordances of technology in education.
