Teaching Massive, Open, Online, Courses (MOOCs): Tales from the front lines

• In Event: DDL - Lessons Learned from MOOCs

Short Description

Most articles about MOOCs unfortunately come from the popular press and are not based on empirical research. While empirical research on MOOCs is increasing, relatively little has been written about what it is like to teach a MOOC. In this mixed methods exploratory study, we set out to capture the perceptions and experiences of instructors teaching massive open online courses. In this session, we will present the results of our inquiry and implications for practice.
