(compared to 1700-­‐1800 for 2013 MOOCs) •  Do not harm acAve learning/No change of class Ame. •  Focus on immediate feedback provided by the plaiorm (inside and outside class). •  Integrate all resources/data in one place. •  LORE (Learning Object Repository for EducaAon) •  Lesson: MOOC needs to be aligned with the residenAal course. Blended Component Prep-­‐set (replacing reading assignments) Online homework. Wriden homework with online check. In class : online check for group problem solving and for experiments. •  Other resources: video lectures, text, links to gradebook, .. Etc. •
