Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,
The Global High Level Policy Forum, organized by UNESCO and the International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE) in June 2015 aimed to:
turn international policy statements into actions to ensure equity, access, and quality which encourages countries to provide inclusive, equitable, quality education and life-long learning opportunities for all. In particular, this is to respond to the scale and urgency of need for higher education in the period 2015 to 2030 due to the expected massive growth of students.
The actions aim to encourage, facilitate, and embrace the power of online, open and flexible Higher Education for the future we want for a sustainable global development, and to allow education for all. Thus, we have to concentrate, and to look at the sunrise and what is coming on the horizon related to the entire concept of opening up education, instead of just looking at the sunset of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). We can not educate today’s students with methods from the past century, for a future we do not know anything about.
This Special Issue on MOOCs  will address some burning themes:

  • new pedagogy and learning engagement
  • the death of the MOOCs
  • MOOCs and inequality
  • can MOOCs address the need to “skill” the population around the globe
  • who is the next generation of learners, teachers, managers, administrators
  • opening up learning to ensure equity, access, and quality
  • credentialization and recognition of MOOC-based learning
  • if MOOCs are the answers, what are the questions

Keywords

  • choice based learning
  • equity, access and quality
  • globalization
  • lifelong and lifewide learning
  • new learning environments
  • open online learning
  • recognition
  • MOOC
Welcome to contribute, we are looking forward to hear from you!
