2017 EDU: WW: The tech generation: Visit to a web-world. Why a MOOC is better than a conference.

The tech generation: Visit to a web-world.
Why a MOOC is better than a conference.
At least it is for the tech population, the people who are comfortable using computers, the internet and the web.  For those not yet in the tech population, a MOOC is a massive open online course. Since it is available over the internet, it requires no travel, can be held over a month rather than a weekend, and can easily be captured in video for lasting availability on the the web.

A Visit to a Web-Based Miniature Virtual World


Mook 

A massive open online course (MOOC) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web In addition to traditional course materials such as filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets, many MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support community interactions among students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs).  --Wikipedia

    Mook advantages over Conferences

    • Presented on the web.  Attend in your own office or home.
    • No travel, no travel cost, no travel time, no travel hassle.
    • Can extend over a month or more.
    • No need to have time conflicts when you have a month. 
    • No need to work out schedules.  Let presenters pick their own times.  
    • No need cut the proposals to fit in a weekend.  
    • No need to work with hotels and travel agencies. 
    • No weather problems.  It does not snow on the internet.
    • Lots of presentation resources for internet presentation.

    Special advantages of presentations in virtual worlds

    Could you do this in a web-world?

    • Most of the parts are there.
    • You can put a web-walk into a web-world.
    • Building in Cybalounge HTML page prim: Put the web in your web-world
    • We do not know how many people we can get into a web-world.
    • And we don't know how many people would overload the current voice system.
    • We do know ways to raise the limits if needed.   
    • But we cannot say that current web-worlds could handle a MOOC.
