Hey Educ-Heroes,

Who do you ask about Massive Open Online Courses (= MOOCs)?

Exactly, René Kizilcec (http://rene.kizilcec.com/) is the one you should seek for advice.

René is a co-founder at the Learning Analytics Lab at Stanford University and yes, he will present his thoughts on …

“MOOCs and what they can teach us about future EdTech!”

… at our July Meetup. René is one of the first researchers who studied the incoming data from MOOCs and his results are important for anyone interested in education technology.

Here is the agenda for the meetup:

--------

7:00 pm
Welcome and networking

7:30 pm
René’s presentation including the following points:

• Part 01: What are MOOCs, where did they come from, and where are they going?

• Part 02: Who is taking them and why? What about dropout rates? Lessons learned and new technological developments.

• Part 03: The global achievement gap in MOOCs and the need to design psychologically welcoming learning environments.

Approx. 8:30 pm
Open discussion and networking part II

--------

So, this time we will get the information right from the heart of technology – the Silicon Valley. Therefore we will have René via Skype. And yes, we will make sure that we will have plenty of time for Q&A.

Moreover, we would love to make our EdTech meetups bigger and bigger by attracting more and more Educ-Heroes like you.

So please help us and spread the word! Together we can create something big – be part of it!

Regards,

cR
