    Hi Imogen,

    This was the information I was sent on the EdcMooc. Its missing how many completed but I could probably find out from the edcmooc fb page.
    EDCMooc Stats – these were posted as the official stats but I’m not sure how scientific they are but interesting nonetheless.
     
    Total Registered Participants: 42874Active Participants Over the Last 7 Days (“Active” is define as any contact with the EDCMOOC Coursera course site): ~ 17%EDC MOOC News (Blog Aggregator) Unique Visitors: ~10%Visitors to the EDCMOOC News page come ~65% from the USA and ~ 8% from the UK.Other stats about this MOOC:For about 70% of the group, this is their first MOOC. About half are currently enrolled on only one MOOC.About 24% of respondents from the USA, ~ 9% from the UK, ~ 6% come from Spain, and ~ 3% from both India and Greece.About 60% of respondents come either from “teaching and education” or report themselves to be “students”. Just over 60% of the entire respondent group have postgraduate level qualifications, and a further ~35% have a university or college degree.
     
    Interestingly the Gamification MOOC I’m doing now which ran last September had over 82000 enroll but only 8100 approx achieved the 70% pass rate. Peer marking was mentioned as one of the reason why some dropped out.

    Hi everyone,

    I’m a Learning Technology Officer at Abertay Uni who also completed the EdcMooc which was quite an experience. Interestingly EdcMooc alumni are still actively participating in Google+, LinkedIn and Facebook as way of continuing to share innovation and good practice from around the globe. Here are some stats from the EdcMooc

    Currently taking Coursera’s Gamification MOOC so my presence on OcTel will be low key as I complete courework.

    Hi everyone,

    Just a quick message to introduce myself. I’m a Learning Technology Officer for Abertay Uni in Dundee. Our VLE platform is Blackboard. I’m particularly interested in digital curation, digital storytelling, mobile learning amongst other things. Just finished reading JISC’s Mobile Learning InfoKit which I found very useful as we begin to open out our content to mobile devices.

    I’ve been pretty low key on the OcTel thus far due to my commitment to my second MOOC with Coursera on Gamification. I will try and participate as much as I can to discussions time permitting as I need to sleep as well:-) 

    Alison
