My name is Olaojo Aiyegbayo and I work as a Research Assistant at the University of Huddersfield’s Teaching and Learning Institute. I don’t do any teaching at the moment but I do support academics so the knowledge gained via this MOOC should help me better support academic colleagues at UoH.
I have signed up for three Coursera MOOCs in the last 8 months which I have not completed. I am part of the massive participant drop-out stats cited against MOOCS. I am hoping that I will be able to complete the OCTEL MOOC. I believe I have a better chance because doing the OCTEL MOOC is part of my work activity whereas I have had to do previous Coursera MOOCs at home outside work hours when I was too tired and busy to engage with them.
My big question is:
What makes academics adopt good TEL practices – what makes them cross the change threshold of dropping an old TEL practice and adopting a new one?
