As the Medium and Sub-culture:Rethink the MOOC’s Explorations in the Liberal Arts in a University From the Perspectives of Social Epistemology
cqvip:In this paper,the researcher examines lessons from massive open online courses(MOOCs)in the liberal art in a university.It intends to define a research agenda into the social epistemology impact of MOOCs,in order to reflect on changes in academic sub-culture and on learning measurement among students in university.For this reason the researcher suggests focusing attention on three features of MOOC phenomenology:MOOCs as a social epistemology—an active policy initiative to promote greater democratization of education;MOOCs as a medium and an academic sub-cultural artifact(mediated texts,videos,interface,platform functionalities)able to convey learning to distant learners;and,lastly,MOOCs as a measurement—in other words as instrumentation(i.e.,learning statements,analytics,algorithms,visualizion tools,dashboards etc.)that allows students to monitor,analyze,and optimize the effectiveness of online teaching and learning.The paper also highlights their limits in these regards based on the perspectives of social epistemology.
