9th SIG SwissMOOC meeting

The arrival of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) presents a lot of new challenges to those who build them, such as:

• Pedagogical: personalisation, individualisation, collaboration
• Legal: copyright, privacy (in the Swiss context)
• Technological: cloud, multimedia
• Strategic: questions of branding, implementation

It also presents very large opportunities:

• Educational research
• Easier collaboration between professors, networking among students
• Outreach efforts (news, high schools, young graduates)
• Citizen science
• Business (corporate continuing education)

The aims of this SIG is to support those who want to implement MOOCs to achieve their goals more easily by sharing information, expertise and services.
