NovoEd Introduces First Team-Based MOOC in Spanish | Business Wire
- “Evaluación de Decisiones Estratégicas” taught by renowned Stanford PhD, Catholic University of Chile professor and strategic decision expert, Patricio del Sol, is the first massive open online course (MOOC) offered solely in Spanish where students can work together on group projects in true collaboration. The five-week free course will teach students key principles of strategic choices in the business landscape.
- NovoEd is the only one to use the power of the social web. It’s designed with teamwork in mind,
- More than 80,000 students in 150 countries participated in the first NovoEd course (previously known as Venture Lab), working in teams on projects and business models. “We had students from Silicon Valley to Russia to third-world countries in Africa,” Mr. Saberi said
-
-
- Now there’s a new platform to add to the list. NovoEd, which officially opened on Monday, will begin offering seven courses to the public next week, as well as 10 private courses for Stanford students.
- Some MOOCs have struggled to foster teamwork because of their size.
- NovoEd is designed specifically with teamwork in mind, Mr. Saberi said. Students form groups at the beginning of each course, conduct class discussions by messaging one another or in discussion boards under an assignment, and evaluate their peers’ performance, much like team projects in face-to-face lecture courses.

Princeton University - Princeton expands online learning efforts to NovoEd platform
- using new approaches and technologies including the NovoEd platform to enable students on campus to collaborate with others taking a class remotely.
- Adelman explained that the first generation of online learning platforms focused on allowing students to access lectures remotely. The emphasis was more "on the professorial side, to a lesser extent on the student learning side," he said. "NovoEd is going to give us an opportunity for students to really dive into this new format of collaborative learning.
- Himpele noted that other faculty members plan to use the NovoEd platform not as a MOOC open to students outside Princeton but as a way to extend and amplify classroom experiences on campus.
- Jennifer Widner, a professor of politics and international affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, is developing a MOOC, called "Making Government Work in Hard Places," for the spring semester on the NovoEd platform.

NovoEd, another Stanford MOOC startup, opens small-group learning services to public | Gigaom
- But a new startup called NovoEd wants to build on the massive open online course (MOOC) phenomenon with a service that puts collaboration and team learning at the center of the student experience
- NovoEd was also launched by Stanford professors. Co-founder and CEO Amin Saberi, an associate professor of management science and engineering, said he started creating the service last year, after a colleague said she wanted to put an entrepreneurship class online but couldn’t find a service that supported her pedagogical style.
-
While existing MOOC services may work for classes that focus on mastery learning, like computer science, Saberi said, many teachers want a better way to teach subjects like entrepreneurship and creativity online.
In those classes, it’s not just about watching a video of professor and then doing the work alone, he said, “It’s about peer learning, social learning – it’s collaborative and experiential
- Over four weekends, Saberi said he and a student came up with an approach that brings social networking techniques to online learning
- When students first join the course, they’re automatically assigned to small groups (of less than 10) based on their experiences and locations. As the group works together, each team member is asked to rate their peers, which informs each person’s “Team Rank” score. Later in the course, students are asked to form groups organically and those scores can help students recruit and build teams
- higher engagement rates than other MOOCs. For example, in its first class, of the 80,000 students who enrolled in the class, 37,000 said they would do the group project and 10,000 ultimately finished the project and the course. Most MOOCs have a 10 percent completion rate, but NovoEd says theirs is closer to 13 percent or higher.
