1. What We Learned From MOOCs: High Touch and Student Engagement Dolores Davison, Foothill College Sanya Soyemi, Mt. San Jacinto College Fabiola Torres, Glendale College

2. MOOCs – A Brief History Massive Open Online Classes Tremendous Interest in 2012-13 Online Education Initiative Budget for More Online Classes

3. Why Were MOOCs So Popular? Inexpensive (free to the students) Large classes Taught by experts in the field Instant feedback to students Reached students who otherwise would not be taking classes

4. Some MOOC Positives Consistent Messaging Seemed like a community Peer Review Open discussions sections Scaffolded assignments and assessments But most of all…the MOOC movement got people talking about online courses

5. Some Consistent Requests from Students More frequently assessments Quicker turn around for grading Consistent Messaging Personal Touches Sense of Community Connections between Faculty and Students Students and Students

6. Foothill College Some Things Faculty Are Doing: Voice Thread Podcasts Using personal photos or other items that tie them to the course subject Consistent messaging Frequency of messages (2 or 3x a week; not daily!) Reminders, information, events Quick Assessments Often worth very little credit, but provides scaffolding Self-Reflection for students

7. Mt. San Jacinto College Some Things Faculty Are Doing: Overall MOOCs design was simple, easy to follow and students provided compliments. MSJC incorporated video lectures with discussion board. Video quality became tone setter Reading materials provided was excellent supplement to the video lectures Facilitators made themselves available and were very responsive Students felt tended to Due to class size, there was reliance on machine grading and rubrics developed for the peer reviewed assignments
