MOOC: a chance for Egypt
• In Egypt a young population to educate– + 2%/year– Median age: 24 years
• The only solution: massive teaching
BUT…
![Page 16: MOOC, Digital Learning... An opportunity for Egypt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5582963ad8b42a94688b4597/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Y. Epelboin UPMC-Sorbonne Universités 3rd Int. Conf. Achieving sustainable development in Egypt 2020 Genève 13/09/2014
A concept to be adapted to Egypt
• Mix face-to-face & distance learning
• Distance learning and local tutors
• Face-to-face interchanges among students: local “houses of MOOCs”
![Page 17: MOOC, Digital Learning... An opportunity for Egypt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5582963ad8b42a94688b4597/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Y. Epelboin UPMC-Sorbonne Universités 3rd Int. Conf. Achieving sustainable development in Egypt 2020 Genève 13/09/2014
Ensure the quality of teaching
• Control of pre-requisites for students• Educate educators and tutors• Train teachers in the use of modern technology• Examinations and grades
![Page 18: MOOC, Digital Learning... An opportunity for Egypt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5582963ad8b42a94688b4597/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Y. Epelboin UPMC-Sorbonne Universités 3rd Int. Conf. Achieving sustainable development in Egypt 2020 Genève 13/09/2014
A concept to adapt: education & culture
• Need to adapt to the national culture– The way to learn, the method to teach must be adapted
to the nation culture and history– International standardization is a danger
MOOCs must be build with the participation of Egyptian Academics
The organization must be adapted to the Egyptian life and culture
![Page 19: MOOC, Digital Learning... An opportunity for Egypt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5582963ad8b42a94688b4597/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Y. Epelboin UPMC-Sorbonne Universités 3rd Int. Conf. Achieving sustainable development in Egypt 2020 Genève 13/09/2014
An important investment
• Course scenario renewed• New documents and OER• Massive use of short videos (chunks 5-7 up to 15
mn)• Need of a local organization
to sustain the MOOCs
A MOOC is a complex team project
A MOOC is a complex team project

What to do?
• Adapted MOOCs and distance learning are the only solution to solve the need to educate masses of young people
Solutions must be adapted to the
Egyptian society and culture
