Abstract(s)
The introduction of massive open online education has offered a new
range of exciting possibilities for the development of language learning. By
opening up access to language education for all who are digitally connected, it
contributes to increase the speed and outreach of the dissemination of one of the
key transversal competences. Additionally, it allows also for the acceleration of
the language learning processes through the use of very large communities of
practice. However, most of the MOOCs in offer today are not designed in such
a way as to empower learners and favour collaborative learning experiences. In
this chapter we explore how the massive open education movement has been
evolving and discuss what the design elements favouring massive collaborative
language learning experiences should be. We present a methodological proposal
for collaborative language MOOCs based on the iMOOC model, developed by a
team of the Open University of Portugal (Universidade Aberta – UAb.pt)
