Abstract

This featured session will cover the design, development, delivery, and facilitation of a MOOC. University of Illinois Springfield and Michigan State have already both offered highly successful MOOCs. While the hype around MOOCs promise that the design of open courses will change education. The UIS and MSU experiences will highlight why a MOOC was the right tool for the content covered in their courses. The presenters will cover topics ranging from tools and technologies to use as well as management of the course delivery, interactions and assessments. The presenters will also provide some insight on how do we go about developing content, learning activities and assessments for a MOOC? What do we need to change in order to accommodate the openness and connectedness of the MOOC environment? What is the optimal minimum/maximum number of participants that we should allow? The audience is encouraged to ask questions.
