We are now in week 5 of our 6-week course – Making MOOCs on a Budget. However, in a way, rather than coming to an end, we are approaching a new beginning!
Up to now, we presented materials which we consider useful for anyone who wants to make a MOOC (on a budget). We used quizzes with multiple attempts possible as a tool to help learners know if they had retained the information or if they needed to go over it again. The discussions aimed to encourage learners to reflect a little on some of the big challenges they may face as they move forward with your project.
From the end of week 6, all the materials will still be available until 28 February, during which time the MOOC will also continue as a self-paced option. However, in the next phase, which starts on 29 November, for anyone who has gone through some/all of the materials (or still wants to), the ‘C’ in MOOC, will be more about ‘Community’ than ‘Course’.
