For each question, put a cross [x] in the box next to the correct answer, as in the example. A life in film ‘Alex Bisby's career as « film actor began et university when ho went on the ul unimportant film roles, known as extras. Shortly after uploading a photo, ‘Alex, who had never acted professionally before, found himself at # London ersal Extras website — an agency which recruits students for small, film studio, appearing in ¢ historical drama alongside two famous Hollywood actors. He's now been in several films as an extra and the pay is always reasonable. He points out that there’s na guarantee of when he'llbe required or exactly what he'll be pzid but it’s an interesting way of getting additional money for not doing very much. He spends a lot of time waiting around but as long as he's paid for it, he doesn’t care! Bisby has even ha¢ to turn flm werk down recently due to pressure of academic work in the period leading up to exams. However, despite the disadvantages, he still intends to carry on doing as much as he can when they are over. Uni-versal Extras was set up by Wayne Berko, who realised there was a gap in the market for an “honest” agency purely for students. Free to register, the agency understands that sometimes students are unable to commit toa job co thoy try to find them work which fits in with the university holidays. Berko thinks it's easy money as long as you are professional, on tme and willing to take direction. The money varies accorcing to whether it’s commercial or a music video but it includes free lunches, and if you don't work, you still get paid. He also points out that a wide range of people might be offered a job — from people with tattoos all over their faces to good swimmers, Anthony Dowling, another oxtra, has been enthusiastic about acting since he wes at school but he stresses the need for patience during long periods of inactivity. For this roacon, he believes the job is not for everyone even ‘though it can be fun if you know what to expect.

MOOCS — massive open online courses ~ are the newest big ‘thing in the search to enable higher education for all. A great deal cof money is being invested in online programmes of study that not only hundreds, but tens of thousands, of students can benefit from. Howover, students may not have the energy to make the experience worthwhile. Part of the issue around which future direction MOOCS will take, however, is that nobody can yet define whom exactly they ‘are meant to benefit. Universities keen to attract fee-paying emational students onto postgraduate courses by showing off their best programmes online? Students in developing countries hungry for access to first-world universities? Employees wishing ‘to develop their professional knowledge? People who want to use MOOCS as a bridge to higher education because they need tangible proof of their competencies? Or hobby learners, who are keen to learn about a subject area in which they have an interest? Research suggests that although they may be popular to start with, MOOCS have poor completion rates. For one professor's horror fiction course, that meant 1,000 people starting and 31 completions. ‘It seems that learning online is a different thing, and requires quite advanced learning skills, confirms a programme manager for JISC, a charity which promotes the use of computer-based technologies in UK education and research. "With MOOCS, there's very little support available: the student is dropped in and tends not to get any individual attention? This is instead replaced by online discussion areas where learners can support each other. The head of Educational Technology, which produced a 2012 report predicting the rise of MOOCS, pointed out that some developing countries present 2 huge demand for learning, The answer to this might be world’s best courses that are being offered online. He claims, ‘If people are genuinely fascinated by learning, then why not? The real challenge is to allow those countries not just to use and study MOOCS, but also to create them!energy. who Some universities especially encourage already have a first degree to enrol on a programme.
