Proceedings of: 2nd MOOC European Stakeholders Summit, 10-12 February 2014, Lausanne (Switzerland). Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been a very promising innovation in higher education for the last few months. Many institutions are currently asking their staff to run high quality MOOCs in a race to gain visibility in an education market that is beginning to be full of choices. Nevertheless, designing and running a MOOC from scratch is not an easy task and requires a high workload. This workload should be shared among those generating contents, those fostering discussion in the community around the MOOC, those supporting the recording and subtitling of audiovisual materials, and those advertising the MOOC, among others. Sometimes the teaching staff has to assume all these tasks (and consequently the associated workload) due to the lack of adequate resources in the institution. This is just one example of the many problems that teachers need to be aware of before riding the MOOC wave. This paper offers a set of recommendations that are expected to be useful for those inexperienced teachers that now face the challenge of designing and running MOOCs. Most of these recommendations come from the lessons learned after teaching a nine-week MOOC on educational technologies, called “Digital Education of the Future”, at the Universidad Carlos III in Madrid, Spain. This work has been funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness Project TIN2011-28308-C03-01, the Regional Government of Madrid project S2009/TIC-1650, and the postdoctoral fellowship Alianza 4 Universidades. Prof. Carlos Delgado-Kloos wishes to acknowledge support from Fundación Caja Madrid to visit Harvard University and MIT in the academic year 2012/13. He also thanks numerous people from MIT, Harvard and edX for fruitful conversations carried out during this research stay. |
