In this practical workshop we will take you through the different types of popular MOOCs currently available, cMOOCs, xMOOCs, sMOOCs etc and help you to understand the pedagogical and design implications of each. Part of this workshop will include a review of your ideas and current state of planning with known experts in the field of MOOC design and delivery. We will also share with you the general experiences of some of the EMMA MOOC providers where they will explain why they made certain choices in relation to MOOC design. By the end of the workshop we expect that you will have decided on the basic design features of your own MOOC.
In order to get the most out of this workshop, participants should have at least initial ideas for a MOOC they plan to create, either as a teacher or as a media producer or learning technologist.
