Abstract(s)

The introduction of open massive online education s offered a new range of exciting possibilities for widening access to quality education. However most of MOOCs in offer today are not designed to empower learners and favour quality of collaborative learning experiences, thus not being suited for use in a formal institutional setting. In this paper we present the iMOOC pedagogical Model developed at Open University of Portugal (Universidade Aberta - UAb.pt) and demosntrate how a synthesis between a connectivist approach and a more structured one enables true bridging between non-formal massive learning opportunities and formal education.
