Hi Derek, Great question. The purpose this prototype is to trial a few technology related issues. SP4Ed<http://wikieducator.org/Scenario_planning_for_educators/Home>will be the first New Zealand micro Open Online Course (mOOC) to be offered in "parallel mode" with an official postgraduate course from a Kiwi uni.
In OER university lingua - parallel mode means free OERu students learning in parallel with full-tuition students registered for a university course. Micro means a subcomponent of a university course. In this case SP4Ed is a subcomponent of EDEM630 (Change with Digital Technologies in Education) at the University of Canterbury. >From a technology perspective: - The OERu version will run without an LMS (interaction technologies are distributed across the Internet -- in short, a PLE approach) We ran an SP4Ed prototype in May this year. - The University of Canterbury students will follow the course through the institutional learning management system (in this case Moodle) You'll appreciate a few of the technical challenges, for example: - How do we share SP4Ed posts from Ucan students using Moodle with the free OERu learners? - How will the free OERu learners get to see Moodle posts because they wont have authenticated access to see the Moodle forum posts. - How will the Ucan students get to see all the PLE interactions from the OERu students? - How do we share the e-learning course materials across these platforms. This is what we're prototyping with SP4Ed 2013.07 -- a live parallel mode example to help us refine some of the technologies for the future of mOOCs for the OERu collaboration so our anchor partners can teach in parallel mode.
