1 like1,143 views
The document discusses a Flash MOOC experiment conducted by the SAICTED research project. In 3 sentences: The SAICTED research project conducted an 8-hour Flash MOOC event on managing ICTs in education using platforms like Google+, YouTube, and WordPress, bringing together over 50 participants across 5 discussion communities to generate over 500 contributions on the topic. The Flash MOOC format proved suitable for postgraduate education and training by allowing for mastery and retrieval learning in a collaborative, low-cost way. However, future Flash MOOCs would benefit from shorter durations, stronger topic focus, and participants with relevant prior knowledge and interest in the topic.
