INNOVATION UND INITIATIVE
Student Voices on MOOCs - Promoting self-directed learningBest-rated MOOC on iMoox
Smart decisions can make you really happy!Through our MCI MOOC (incidentally, currently the best-rated course on iMOOX ) some 620 satisfied participants have already learned how to take active and smart decisions.The advantages of a MOOC (massive open online course) are particularly evident in self-directed learning. Learners can plan, design and evaluate their learning process independently. This is a key competence that is indispensable for lifelong and successful learning. Self-study competencies can also be actively promoted by lecturers in the classroom; for example by working with authentic and real-life problem assignments or projects. Instead of directly teaching the necessary basics, students are allowed to work on these independently. This also motivates them to take on new and complex challenges! And what do the students say about this form of learning? What do they particularly like about it? Here are a few voices from our MCI MOOC:"The explanations in the videos were easy to understand and you could immediately apply the had learned. The flexibility of location and time of online courses is the biggest advantage of such a course.""Content well structured, good mix of learning and applying, understandably formulated and comprehensible.""The clear, entertaining food for thought and the tasks for reflection on this, based on own objectives.""The super processing through the breaks/interruptions in the videos as well as the incorporated questions - cool job!"Here is the link to the MOOC https://imoox.at/course/smartentscheiden (in German only) as well as the link to the MCI MOOCs on the MCI website: https://www.mci.edu/en/moocs-en
