abstract |
Smart cities try to use technology and data to improve the efficiency of city services,
to address societal challenges and to improve collaboration between citizens and government.
Driving such social change requires a deep socio-ecological transition with both organisations
and individual’s lifestyles needing to change. This has led to an increasing recognition
of the need for education to empower people to play a more active role within smart
city initiatives. This paper examines our use of a MOOC as a tool to facilitate attitudinal
learning around the topic of smart cities and to explore whether the learners engage
in local smart city activities. A mixed methods research design was employed, collecting
data via an online survey that was completed by 202 learners and through in-depth
interviews with 8 of those learners. The results show that learners’ perceived high
levels of attitudinal learning on the topic of smart cities across four categories
of learning outcomes (general, cognitive, affective and behavioural). Our findings
also contribute to an understanding of the types of post-course activities learners
participate in and their experiences of trying to apply what they learnt if they participated
in local smart city activities. We conclude by providing new insights into how to
design for learning to support social change in the context of a MOOC. |
