Propuestas y modelos de negocio para la sostenibilidad de los MOOCs

En el artículo que escribí sobre MOOCs para Relpe/OEI no hablé del modelo de negocio que supone este tipo de cursos.

Hay por parte de muchas universidad anglosajonas y americanas más concretamente un modelo de negocio sostenible para los xMOOCs. Se habla de pérdidas de muchos cursos de xMOOCs. Algunos autores como comenta Martin Weller describe un escenario muy deprimente y que se convierten en insostenibles y que sólo se pueden permitir universidades de élite, y además son conservadores estos cursos, ya que no pueden arriesgar mucho o casi nada debido a que producirían más pérdidas. Esto comenta en un post el Sr. Weller. Desde mi humilde opinión creo que hay soluciones, habiendo soluciones y formas para todos los «gustos» universitarios.

En cuanto a su sostenibilidad podemos nombrar ciertas formas de recuperación monetaria o ROI para este tipo de cursos:

  • Al finalizar el curso se ofrece un examen final que te dará créditos y dependiendo de los acuerdos  con otras universidades. Suelen ser costosos.
  • Trás la capa analítica se puede percibir e incluso preveer los alumnos que son muy buenos o tienen unas determinadas competencias y habilidades ajustables a determinadas empresas. O sea, venta de estudiantes con unos requisitos específicos (en el argot anglosajón los headhunting) con venta a empresas.
  • Otro modelo es el utilizar la estrategia MOOC para reclutar estudiantes.
Uno de los modelos de negocio para universidades. El MOOC2degree

Uno de los modelos de negocio para universidades. El MOOC2degree

Nos extendemos en este último punto con la iniciativa MOOC2degree. Este proyecto de un consorcio de siete universidades de Estados Unidos ofrece el primer curso de una titulación como un MOOC con la esperanza de reclutar estudiantes en el programa completo. Los MOOCs será gratuita, abierta a todos y en realidad le dará créditos si se inscribe en el programa de estudios completo. Esto no está claro y no hay acuerdos con el resto de universidades para el tema de créditos, pero justificada si puede ayudar a la universidad a reclutar más estudiantes. Este vídeo no dice nada al respecto de forma clara.

En un post se comenta al respecto al vídeo linkeado «con MOOC2Degree, las asociaciones académicas ha colaborado con las universidades públicas para ofrecer créditos MOOCs como un primer paso y una salida libre hacia la obtención de un título. A través de esta nueva iniciativa, el curso inicial en determinados programas de grado en línea se convertirá en un MOOC. Cada MOOC será el mismo curso con el mismo contenido académico, impartido por los mismos instructores, ya que actualmente ofrecen programas de grado en las universidades participantes. Los estudiantes que completen con éxito un curso de MOOC2Degree obtendrán créditos académicos para obtener un título, en base a los criterios establecidos por las universidades participantes. »
Esto es muy general y no es más que una forma de reclutar estudiantes a los programas regulares de titulaciones universitarias y eso es exactamente por lo que creo que será de interés para muchas universidades de corte tradicional (la mayoría). En realidad no es nuevo, ya sea porque universidades como la Open University del Reino Unido han ofrecido de forma abierta sus cursos a través de OpenLearn desde hace varios años y muchos estudiantes se han inspirado en los cursos gratuitos para inscribirse en las versiones de pago de estos cursos. Muchos estudiantes en MOOC2degree también deciden inscribirse en el grado de manera completa, pero al mismo tiempo aquellos que simplemente quería aprender sin necesidad de los créditos también pueden beneficiarse de esta experiencia.

Esta es una razón por las que creo que las universidades deben cambiar de estrategia en el diseño instruccional de los cursos, tanto en formación virtual como en la formación mixta o blended learning. Por eso las universidades (y ya más allá de MOOC2degree) se verán obligados a revisar a fondo su estrategia online y blended, para prestar atención a la pedagogía de los cursos en línea y asegurarse de que la experiencia MOOC sea más dinámica y estimulante suficiente para hacer estrategias de monetarización y en escala de los cursos.
