How to build a MOOC for KreativEU

This workshop introduces you to the concept of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) by providing a definition, explaining their main characteristics and didactic principles – enabling you to create a MOOC for the KreativEU community.

We will take a look at the basic steps for designing and implementing a MOOC using KreativEU Moodle. Furthermore, we will focus on the differences between such a course type and conventional / other online courses which do not rely on a learner's autonomy. Ideas for assessment within a MOOC will also be discussed.

This course in English is part of the training programme offered via the KreativEU Centre for Excellence in Digital Education and AI. See this website for more information on KreativEU.
