On May 15, 2014 Wilfred Rubens from EMMA-partner Open University in the Netherlands provided presentation at the annual conference of the European Association for Distance Learning in Edinburgh, (United Kingdom).
He introduced the EMMA-project and used the classification schema for MOOCs developed bij EMMA-partner Gráinne Conole from the University of Leicester to discuss the pedagogical diversity of MOOCs.
Based on a calculation of his own experiences with MOOCs he concluded that there are serious doubts related to the business model of MOOCs. However, according to Wilfred MOOCs have other benefits.
Below you find the slides.
