Abstract
Opportunities and challenges of MOOCs: perspectives from Asia
The recent growth of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has led to discussions of technology-based instruction revolutionizing traditional higher-education teaching. Here we analyze the origin of MOOCs, as well as trends in education initiated by these courses, and compare them with OpenCourseWare (OCW), YouTube EDU, iTunes U. Specifically, this paper will discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by MOOCs, from the perspective of Asian countries, with reference to economics, culture, language, and instruction.Oportunidades y Retos de los MOOCS: Perspectivas desde Asia

En este trabajo analizamos el origen de los MOOCs, así como las tendencias iniciadas por estos cursos, comprando OpenCourseWare (OCW), YouTube EDU e iTunes U. En concreto, este trabajo analiza las oportunidades y retos que presentan los MOOCs, desde la perspectiva de los países asiáticos, desde el punto de vista económico, cultural, idiomático y de formación.Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) | ||||||
