Week 6 Introduction

Welcome to week 6 - the final module of this MOOC!

So far we have looked at the various aspects which need to be considered when developing a MOOC.

   - We have reflected on the importance of using pedagogical approaches to design your MOOC, and selecting learning objects which will allow your learners to actually learn.

   - We have looked at the tools and equipment needed to develop engaging materials for your MOOC.

   - We have also looked at how to plan your MOOC-building project so that it gets done in time and on budget.

   - We have looked at issues of promoting your MOOC, recruiting learners, engaging them, and assessing them.

This week, we will take a look at the options for making your MOOC available for learners to actually sign up.

This module also includes a list of additional material which we have been compiling over the past 18 months, and we hope it will be a useful resource for you as you go on to make your MOOC.
