Journal Title: Apertura - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Pedagogical innovation mediated by educational technology in the digital world is one of the contemporary challenges in higher education. Therefore, the aim is to present a reflexion about the contribution and didactic organization of Open Educational Resources (OER) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). Parameterized by procedures of the case study, we analyze the data from two international MOOC that focused on the theme OER. As a result of active participation in the courses, we registered the course plans, teaching materials, assessment methodology, learning activities and the interaction between participants and sharing online. It revealed a diversified didactic elements in MOOC with an emphasis on video and variation between working hours, type and number of weekly activities. Although OER and MOOC already are concrete possibilities for online university education in the digital world, with great demand, it is necessary to invest in institutional policies to consolidate the open education.
