How to MOOC –first insights
•“Ten simple rules for developing a MOOC” by
Manallack & Yuriev (2016)
•Conole (2014) emphasizes that there are
even more possibilities to classify MOOCs
and offers 10 criteria for different MOOC
designs
•Drake, O’Hara & Seeman (2015) share five
principles of MOOC design and how it
influenced decisions in a case study.
