FutureLearn from the Open University (OU) in the UK offers a unique example of how massive open online courses (MOOCs) can be designed for active and engaging learning.
Mike Sharples, the former Academic Lead of FutureLearn, joins us to discuss the purposeful design of FutureLearn toward social learning, which involves inquiry and discussions as central to the pedagogical design of the platform.
We additionally talk about citizen inquiry, mobile learning, online learning, science education, human-centered design of personal technologies, innovative pedagogy, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, MOOC design, and much more.
