Anant Agarwal: Why massively open online courses (still) matter

[@Ellellevlog]

I'm currently in university. I go to my classes and daydream while the professor talks, then I go home and try to teach myself the material. I don't have the attention span to sit and listen to someone lecture me. I think that moving towards a world where people can learn with a pause button is promising.

[@rokanmoschus1564]

[@dr.samatieh4185]

Online Education is the new paradigm of education, big schools are just now accepting that.

sounds like a waste of attending university...

You and moi in the same boat.. smh

[@jordantalbot8584]

People will look back on this video one day and realize history was made. Heading to edX now.

[@ellabl4184]

So this guy predicted a future because today everyone has online classrooms. Love it! haha

[@ChandravijayAgrawal]

This is very underrated video

[@rishab671]

Yes

[@abahamilton-phillips8762]

This video needs to be shared. The information is outstanding. I am a beneficiary of edx and I am so blessed to have found this resource. It has transformed my life. There's no way a person like me from a poor country, Liberia, could have afforded the quality of education I receive on edx.

[@miss_pauline]

I just discovered edx and I enrolled on my first course yesterday and we share the same woes, am Kenyan and edx is about to change my life tbh

[@jhazelhurst4124]

Hah! I did circuits and electronics 6002x online about a year ago and it was great, Anant Agarwal was the professor!

[@jhazelhurst4124]

Forgot to mention the turning a pickle into a light source, 'a pickle is also a lumped element' as he would say.

[@Perceptionz_Sound]

Who else is here in 2022 because of edX? Thanks to all the great minds who spread the knowledge.

[@GiovanniMascheroni]

This TED is incredible! Lectures like this makes me remind how I love to learn! Thank you!

[@jameelajan8510]

[@dr.rameshrajayer1506]

Learning to teach is becoming Teaching to learn through MOOC! It's great to be part of it!

[@Zappabain]

Happy to see I was not the only one who got lost in class because I coudln't take notes fast enough (plus I struggled trying to read the blackboard). In fact, even people with mental disorders can benefit enormously from this, studying feeling calm at home (Social anxiety disorder (SAD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ...). I really hope more and more people will learn like this; I love pausing, rewinding, selecting x1.25 most of the time, ... This is priceless. Thank you.

[@ZardoDhieldor]

We shouldn't forget that a lot of MOOC participants aren't usual first semester students but highly educated men and women who already have got one ore more graduations. They're doctors, professors and similar. They know how to learn on their own. The presented techniques may work well if you're able to learn autonomically, but that is not always given.

[@bygnahzdivad]

I agree and I'm also questioning the method that they would use to evaluate the students. If they do it online, then there's a very high chance that students cheat to get the grades that they want, which would eliminate the whole point of this process. The only way I suppose they can evaluate students would be through testing centres that the students can go to for their evaluations.

[@jeremyrieder]

Every students need to learn how to learn by themselves when they start higher education, whether their courses are MOOCs or traditional ones ;)

[@YR2050]

The point is to make MOOC the new standard of college/university learning. Sit-and-Listen-for-hours is just not working for many people, it is a failing system.

[@bygnahzdivad]

Actually, I totally agree with you on that point, because I've found myself falling asleep in some of my classes. I understand that's what he's trying to address, but we also have to address the flaws to his system if we're to search for a better solution to university/college education.

[@jellodrake4112]

The fact that learning to 'teach ones self' is not the standard in today's grade schools is highly disturbing to me. You shouldn't need higher education to learn how to learn. I was just lucky enough to be the kind of person who fell into that without the help of grade school. On a similar note, if you experiment with different sources(different books(you'll eventually find a pattern of book styles that help you retain knowledge), MOOCs, professional communities, etc; as I've proposed in a few other replies here, but for different reasons) you can start to feel out your own personal learning style and figure out how to learn autonomously if that's something you currently have trouble with. If you need to be kept in check to stay on course then use the buddy system.

[@raquelmendes4400]

I can see your pasion, Anant. I can see your great work as an agent of changes. Uau!!! (that is for me, because I found three words that expresses my admiration): Bravo!!! Congratulations!!! Thank you!!!

[@jefks4299]

Estoy en un curso de Edx y dieron este video dentro de las tareas. Me pareció una exposición genial que une algo que toda presentación de un tema debieses tener: - Una persona real (lo cual en estos tiempos es importante de destacar así como vamos, en que piensan reemplazar a las personas para toda actividad, llegando a una exageración). - Un tema interesante explicado de una manera simple, ya que con el se llega a todos, expertos y no expertos del área. - Una forma amena, entretenida de exposición, lo que permite mantener la concentración por más tiempo, y además, conservar el contenido con mayor facilidad. Muchas gracias.

[@ItsJakeTheBrake]

edx is awesome, can't wait until my new course starts!

[@Twixy183]

I completed 3 online courses, and I attend 2 at the moment... It's the best thing I did for myself... And Circuits and electronics with prof.Agarwal was my first course. He was right when he said the students dream about green checkmark :)))

[@pecksherry]

Agree with most of these ideas. BUT (and this is a big but) some subjects lend themselves to this approach more than others AND some students are more self motivated than others!

[@marcosmoritz]

Yes Sherry, you are right. The main concern is assure we are ADDING a new model, instead of REPLACING the current model by this one.

[@JohnBastardSnow]

_"and this is a big butt"_ That's what she said

[@RutzMac]

About self-motivation: I think all students can become self-motivated when they are learning what they want to learn. In this new, self-paced model for education, students will be able to learn WHAT they want WHEN they want to learn it. Of course, there will have to be some minimum requirements. But in this self-paced model, genius will emerge sooner and more often when students have the time and means to discover what they love.

[@RutzMac]

I believe that as more content gets online and as more people turn to the Internet for education, all subjects will find a way to be taught through this tech-powered method. There will always be a need for people---for fellow students, for professors, for TAs---to enrich the experience with discussion and practice problem-solving, and eliminate whatever computer error there might be. But the information can be conveyed without the need for a person to be in the same room.

[@xxhellspawnedxx]

RutzMac Furthermore about self-motivation, the only thing we have to speak for her view of this is people within the current educational paradigm. There will always be the occasional slacker, but most people won't be slacking willingly. They just have their motivation and creativity crushed by overly rigid school systems.

[@terretulsiak]

The main reason to go to a university remains mostly social. Forming relationships, connections, and discussions. Covid will illuminate just how significant the need for change is...

[@anupamachannan602]

This is an awesome step forward in revolutionizing education. I am starting my second online course from Harvard through EdX and it's amazing to know I am learning with the best possible. So glad to live in these times. Love learning. Love EdX. Thank you so much .

[@adammm__alltogether]

I'm currently doing an iversity MOOC in astrophysics. It's free to enrol, it's really interesting, and thoroughly enjoyable. I could never afford to pay for an equivalent qualification from a traditional University and because I'm a full-time carer I'm not able to go out to attend lectures and seminars etc.. so studying from home is ideal. MOOCs get a huge thumbs up from me !

[@nnn326]

"Given education has been calcified for 500 years, {...}We really have to completely reimagine it." Thank you !!! We know more than we used to and our needs are differents. It's so nice to see change is coming somehow.

Amazing speech Mr Anant. I really believe that education as a whole needs a revolutionary change. The online platform you people have created is one such idea. But we have much more to go. One issue that must be taken into consideration is the employment opportunity using online courses. Many people would happily leave college and study using online platforms, only if it could guarantee employment based on the skill gained during the course.

The Ted-Talk "Why massively open online courses (still) matter" by Anant Agarwal perfectly describes our online continuing education mission at dentaltown. Our online CE courses have been viewed over half a million times from dentists around the world as we try to even out the asymmetry of dental knowledge so that every dentists on earth can perform dentistry faster, easier, higher in quality and lower in cost. The last big technological advancement in education was the printing press over 500 years ago. Today’s internet, via smart phones, will be able to scale knowledge faster and for a lower cost than anything ever seen to date. I would like to profoundly thank all the dentists who have created online CE courses for Dentaltown as these courses are becoming an integral part of the curriculum at dental schools around the world. Howard Farran DDS, MBA

[@HowardFarranDDS]

I have been fortunate in my life to have been able to visit many countries around the world. I have always believed that most Americans have almost no idea on just how rich they are. When you tell Americans they have 5% of the earth’s population and over 25% of all the money, most do not fully comprehend it. When you tell them 3 billion people earn less than $3 a day, most still don’t really get it because you really have to see it to believe it.

[@JackHadley]

Howard Farran Thanks for all you are doing to move this message ahead, Howard. SO important.

[@trizmisce]

THANK KTHULHU! The mere thought of how outdated the current method of learning is enrages me to no end. Forcing students to travel for an hour to the lecture hall, sitting your ass off for 2 hours taking notes (ridiculously inefficient method of acquiring information), traveling back home for another hour, before you can finally get the chance to start learning. COMPARE THAT to the information simply being sent via email to spend the time at your comfort learning everything. it is nothing short of being so inefficient to become insulting for the student.

[@MrBinitpatel]

What an overwhelmed video !!! Edx is great. I love it.

I would like to share an spanish translation for those like who need it ( it´s not the best but least i tried t): Anant Agarwal: Porque los cursos abiertos masivos online (siguen) importando Me gustaría que re imaginar la educación. En último año he visto la invención de nueva palabra, empieza con una “C”, CAMO, Cursos Abiertos Masivos Online; muchas organizaciones están ofreciendo estos cursos alrededor del mundo al por mayor, gratis, cualquier persona con acceso a internet puede participar de estos cursos de excelente universidades y obtener un certificado al final de el. Ahora, en esta reunión, hoy me gustaría enfocarme en un aspecto diferente de los “CAMO”, estamos tomando lo que estamos aprendiendo de las tecnologías que estamos desarrollando a lo grande y lo estamos aplicando a lo pequeño, para crear un Modelo Mezclado de educación para reinventar, re imaginar lo que se hace en el salón de clases. Ahora nuestros salones de clases no han cambiado, aquí les presento una foto de un salón de clases de hace 50 años, y ahora un salón actual de clases de una universidad de 3 letras. La educación NO ha cambiado en los últimos 500 años, la última innovación de la educación fue la Imprenta y los libros de texto. Todo lo que nos rodea ha cambiado, desde establecimientos que atienden la saludos, transporte, todo ha cambiado y es diferente, pero la educación no ha cambiado. Uno de los problemas mas importantes es la accesibilidad En la siguiente imagen, lo que ven no es un concierto, y la persona que está al frente no es Madona, esta es una clase de una universidad de Nigeria, Ahora, antes de la educación a distancia, por ejemplo los estudiantes en la parte trasera están a más de 200 pies, ellos están tomando clases a “Larga distancia”. Yo creo que podemos transformar la educación, tanto en calidad, escala y accesibilidad atreves de la tecnología. Por ejemplo EDX, están tratando de transformar la educación a través de las tecnologías online. Al pensar en la educación que no ha cambiado en los últimos 500 años, no podemos reinventarla o administrarla mejor, realmente tenemos que Re imaginárnosla, incluso infraestructura, todo tiene que cambiar. Debemos ir de lecturas en la pizarra, a ejercicios online, videos online, tenemos que ir desde laboratorios interactivos y dar resultados, tenemos que ir desde clases completamente online y salas de interacción, tenemos que cambiar completamente. Así que como EDX y otras organizaciones, estamos aplicando este tipo de educación través de CAMO’s para incrementar la accesibilidad a la educación, y a lo mejor ha escuchado de este ejemplo, cuando lanzan por primera vez un curso, por ejemplo el de MIT, 155 mil estudiantes de 150 países terminaron este curso, sin ningún presupuesto de Marketing, ahora 155 mil es un gran número muy grande tan grande como en los últimos 150 años de la carrera de MIT. 7200 estudiantes pasaron el curso, este fue un curso difícil; ahora 7200 es un gran numero también, si yo enseñara la carreta de MIT, dos semestres cada año, tendría que enseñar por 40 años antes de poder enseñar a esa cantidad de estudiantes. Pero todos estos números son solo una parte de la historia, así que lo que quiero hacer hoy es discutir el otro aspecto de los libros, tomar otra perspectiva, esto es, tomar las tecnologías grandes y aplicarlo a lo pequeño, para crear un modelo Mezclado de aprendizaje, pero antes de entrar en ese asunto déjenme contarles una historia. Cuando mi hija cumplió los 13 años y se convirtió en una joven dejo de hablar inglés y comenzó a hablar un nuevo lenguaje, idioma, lo llamo, Teenglish (Ingles jovial), es un lenguaje digital, tiene dos sonidos, un “Mmm”, y el silencio, por ejemplo, “Mi amor, ven a cenar” el papá dice, y la hija responde con un “MMmm”, el padre pregunta, ¿Me escuchaste?, la hija responde con silencio, ¿me puedes escuchar? El padre pregunta de nuevo, y la hija responde nuevamente con un “mm”. Así que teníamos un pequeño problema con nuestra comunicación, no nos comunicábamos, así que un día tuve una epifanía, le mande un mensaje de texto desde mi celular, y obtuve una respuesta instantánea, pensé que ella se había equivocado, suponiendo que era uno de sus amigos; así que le mande otro mensaje de texto, y ella respondió inmediatamente, pensé que eso era genial, desde ese entonces todo ha sido genial, le mando un mensaje, ella responde y nos comunicamos, todo es grandioso. Nuestra generación Milenial es diferente, han sido formados de diferente manera, aunque en KZbin me veo más joven, no soy un milenial, ellos están cómodamente acostumbrados a las tecnologías online, cuando discutimos en los salones de clase, no discutamos, entendamos el tema y apoyémoslo, yo no puedo mensajear como ellos en el celular, la evolución se encargara de eso. Debemos darle entrada a las tecnologías online, a la generación Milenaria, realmente piensen en crear todas esas tecnologías online y licuen la información en sus vidas. Por ejemplo algo que pueden hacer en lugar de llevarlos a la escuela, meterlos a un salón a las 8 de la mañana, odio cuando las clases empezaban a las 8 de la mañana, porque forzamos a los muchachos a hacer lo mismo, esto es lo pueden hacer, ponerlos a ver videos, resolver ejercicios en sus propios dormitorios, en el comedor, en el baño, el lugar donde sean más creativos, luego entran al salón por mas relaciones impersonales, pueden hablar con sus compañeros, tener discusiones, resolver problemas juntos, trabajar con el profesor, y pedirle al profesor que les resuelva sus dudas, de hecho cuando están en EDX, cuando están en su primer curso de circ. uitos electrónicos esto nos viene pasando muy a menudo Dos maestros de preparatoria en Mongolia han transformado sus clases, están usando los videos y nuestros ejercicios interactivos con los estudiantes de 15 años trabajando por ellos mismos, llevando los ejercicios a la casa y trabajando en casa, regresa a interactuar con el grupo y realizar algunos ejercicios de laboratorio. También tenemos otros pruebas piloto, un curso piloto de educación mezclada estamos trabajando con la universidad de San Jose California, de nuevo con el curso de circuitos electrónicos, esto lo oirán repetidas veces, este curso se ha convertido en una gran tradición de nuestro aprendizaje; de nuevo, los maestros transforman la clase mesclando los conocimientos con las personas, y vemos resultados lo cuales ellos todavía no lo llevan al banco de datos, pero los resultados son increíbles. Atreves de los años que este curso se ha impartido ha tenido un porcentaje de egresados, ya que es un curso difícil, cerca del 40- 41% cada semestre, con esta clase mezclada en el último año el fracaso decayó al 9%, así que los resultados pueden ser extremadamente buenos, pero antes de que nos adentremos en este tema me gustaría discutir algunas ideas principales sobre esto, ¿Cuáles son las ideas principales que hacen que todo esto funcione? Una idea es el aprendizaje Activo, en lugar de que entren a un salón donde se les imparta un libro, los estudiantes tienen lecciones, las lecciones son una serie de videos y de ejercicios interactivos. Los estudiantes verán un video de entre 5 y 7 minutos, seguido de ejercicios interactivos, piense sobre esto como la mejor manera de educar, los educar a través de hacerles preguntas, y esto es lo que llamamos Aprendizaje Activo, el cual fue formulado en los años 70’s por Craik y Lockhart, que mencionaba que el aprendizaje, comprensión y la retención tenía que ver mucho con el proceso mental, los estudiante aprenden mejor cuando interactúan con el material El siguiente punto es el hecho de que ellos controlen la clase, pueden presionar el botón de encendido cuando ellos quieras, escuchar al profesor cuando ellos quieran, incluso callar al profesor cuando ellos quieran, de tal manera que el proceso de que el alumno se auto eduque puede ayudar mucho. La tercer idea que quiero comentarles es la retroalimentación instantánea, con la retroalimentación instantánea la computadora analiza los ejercicios, cuando se enseña a 155 mil estudiantes, la computadora lee los ejercicios, puedes incluso ingresar las respuestas de los ejercicios, y los resultados llegaran dos semanas después, incluso podrás haberte olvidado de ellos. Con la retroalimentación instantánea los alumnos pueden saber si lo están haciendo bien o mal tener respuestas instantáneas, hasta poder resolverlo de manera correcta, y así obtener la retroalimentación instantánea. Esta marca verde que ven se ha convertido en uno de los certificados más importantes en EDX, los estudios nos han comprobado que los estudiantes incluso duermen soñando con la marca verde. Tenemos el caso de un estudiante que después e haber intentado varias veces un ejercicio obtuvo una marca verde y luego coloco un comentario como este: “Oh dios, como te he extrañado”, refiriéndose a la marca verde, nos sorprende escuchar esto, cuando nos íbamos a imaginar que un estudiante se exprese así de “Tarea”. Mi colega me comenta que la retroalimentación instantánea consiste en enseñar en los momentos de obtener resultado. El curto punto es permitir que ellos construyan, en nuestros laboratorios online, les permitimos construir modelos, y así las computadoras se actualizarán, construir modelos como Legos. La quinta idea, es el aprendizaje puro, aquí usamos foros de discusión, interacción, incluso el Facebook lo usamos para este fin, no como una distracción, sino para ayudar a los estudiantes a aprender. Déjenme contarles una historia, cuando estábamos enseñando a los 155 mil estudiantes, sabíamos que tendrían dudas, así que nos organizamos para poder abrir el fórum 24/7 y nos preguntábamos como lo podríamos hacer, así que en la noche un estudiante de Pakistán hizo una pregunta y mientras yo escribía la respuesta otro estudiante de Egipto le respondió, y antes de que yo termine otro estudiante de USA también ofreció una respuesta, así que me senté fascinado por lo que estaba ocurriendo, y así que toda la noche los estudiantes estaban discutiendo y antes de la 1 de la mañana ellos habían descubierto la respuesta correcta Algo que nos están diciendo, es que los estudiantes esta aprendiendo uno del otro, están aprendiendo al Enseñar. Pero esto no es cosa del futuro, está pasando en nuestros días, en el hoy, por eso estamos aplicando estos pruebas pilotos de educación mezclada. Este modelo lo estamos aplicando en todo el mundo, y esto puede resolver el problema practico de los “CAMO’s”, el problema del negocio, incluso podemos vender todos estos cursos a universidades, así que las universidades pueden darnos los certificados o licencias como profesores y usar todos estos cursos como al siguiente generación de libros de texto y usarlos todo lo que podamos, se convertirán en más herramientas para los maestros. Finalmente me gustarían que Re imaginen conmigo la educación, tendremos que mudarnos de corredores de aprendizaje a espacios online, de libros de texto a Tabletas, de salones construidos de block y cemento a Dormitorios digitales,

Brilliant. Thank you very much.

I've taken ONLINE classes both college and career. They were great but interaction is key with measurement tracking.

Self pacing is a very, very helpful tool for me.

I am going to take a course on Edx too and i think that it's very cool to learn new things with just a laptop

MOOC is truly revolutionizing education

[@adrianagodoy5503]

What an interesting video about the moocs, personally i love study by this way, I feel like I learn a lot instead when I study with a traditional way i feel like i learn only to 60%. In fact, I learned English by this way with moocs and i'm very happy and proud of my self for that!

Thanking for explaining Why massively open online courses (still) matter!

I think the implementation of online courses as a whole needs a huge revamp, especially the ones he talks about, the ones that take place partially in class. I have taken a couple of online courses ay my University, and both of them had terrible examinations thanks to the way you preset your material online vs actual exam. I had to do online assignments/mini quizzes literally for each chapter but when the exams happened in class, the format was different the questions were much more complicated.

I agree with you Sherry! content and individuals are key to MOOC success...

[@shubhamnayak9369]

I love this development that is taking place in education.. One day Mooc will replace educational institution ,as going to institution requires a lot of money. I know the one on one interaction is necessary and so we will definitely come out with solution for that till then enjoy the revolution
