… MOOLsMassive OpenOnline Labs
are bringing back hand-on activities
• Massive access to data sets through analysis and visualization tools • Massive experimentation with simulation• Massive access to remote labs thanks to
role allocation: Leaders do (manipulate) and followers look (observe)• or selective accessibility: gamification;
competition; peer election, peer assessment

Social Learning
‣ Connectivist MOOCs
• a connectivist course is based on four major types of activity, i.e., Aggregation, Remixing, Repurposing, and Sharing (Kop et al) ➤ as offered by PLE platforms
‣ Typology of MOOC platforms • Continuum
• Aggregation & Dissemination: From related actions driven by providers to contributions shared by participants
• Coaching & Assessment: From related normative activities supervised by teachers to formative interactions handled collaboratively with peers
• Timing & Structuring: From related scaffolds enforced by the platforms to sequences and relations controlled by the participants

Social Learning
‣ Turning a PLE platform into a cMOOCs platform through Opensocial apps
• Requirements elicited in the framework of RESCIF Network of Excellence in Engineering Sciences of the French-speaking countries
• Extensions using only Opensocial apps
• Peer evaluation support
• Creation of quizzes, collection of the answers and analysis
• Team building and competence bartering support
• Formalization of time-based and topic-based navigation and exploration structures through spaces;
• Support of additional metadata through internal tags;
• Management of multilingual resources;
• Recording, tagging and subtitling of video sequences;
• Integration of e-texbook standard documents 11
Social Learning
‣ Personal cMOOC on Social Media
• Setup by two teachers with complementary expertizes
• Populated and evaluated by teachers and students
