Studies that compare mixed method courses to face-to-face or online courses have conflicting results: some find improved learning outcomes and some find no significant differences. This talk argues that these conflicting results are due to inconsistent or vague definitions of hybrid, blended, flipped, and inverted courses. To address this problem, the Mixed Instructional eXperience (MIX) taxonomy was developed to define these terms based on two pedagogically relevant dimensions: how instruction is delivered and what type of instruction is delivered. Using the MIX taxonomy to re-classify courses, analysis of this literature revealed four themes in the results that illuminate how different teaching methods affect learning outcomes.

Students were expected to submit homework assignments, meet deadlines, and were awarded a \u0022Statement of Accomplishment\u0022 only if they met a high grading bar. Together, these three courses had enrollments of around 350,000 students, making this one of the largest experiments in online education ever performed. Since the beginning of 2012, we have transitioned this effort into a new venture, Coursera, a social entrepreneurship company whose mission is to make high-quality education accessible to everyone by allowing the best universities to offer courses to everyone around the world, for free. Coursera classes provide a real course experience to students, including video content, interactive exercises with meaningful feedback, using both auto-grading and peer-grading, and a rich peer-to-peer interaction around the course materials. Coursera began operations in early 2012, and as of September 2012, has 16 university partners and over 1.3 million students enrolled in its 124 courses, which span a range of topics including computer science, business, medicine, science, humanities, social sciences, and more.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EIn this talk, Koller reports on this far-reaching experiment in education known as Coursera, and why she and other Coursera leaders believe this model can provide both an improved classroom experience for on-campus students, via a flipped classroom model, as well as a meaningful learning experience for the millions of students around the world who would otherwise never have access to education of this quality. She\u0027ll describe the pedagogical foundations for this type of teaching, and the key technological ideas that support them, including easy-to-create video chunks, a scalable online Q\u0026amp;A forum where students can get their questions answered quickly, sophisticated autograded homeworks, and a carefully designed peer grading pipeline that supports the at-scale grading of more open-ended homeworks. Through such technology, Koller and other Coursera leaders envision millions of people gaining access to the world-leading education that has so far been available only to a tiny few, and using this education to improve their lives, the lives of their families, and the communities in which they live.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EDaphne Koller is the Rajeev Motwani Professor in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University and the co-founder and co-CEO of Coursera, a social entrepreneurship company that works with top universities to make the best education accessible to everyone around the world, for free.

After each lecture, students are required to engage in the discussion; this can be in the form of a blog post, a vlog, a forum discussion or other interactions.

In addition to allowing any interested parties to participate, all of the content produced from the course is shared by everyone involved.
