Teaching Digital Manufacturing Experimenting Blended-Learning Models By Combining MOOC And On-site Workshops In FabLabs

Abstract

Teaching digital manufacturing at scale using MOOCs has opened opportunities for IMT, a network of French graduate engineering schools, to work closely with a community of learners and educators in physical spaces called Fab Labs. By setting up a cohort of lifelong learning trainees taking the MOOC online and attending hands-on in-person workshops, IMT to experiment blended learning models and hybrid skills certification for project-based STEM courses.
