mean in terms
of instructional
design?
What are the
peculiarities of
designing an online
course that
addresses such a big

Characteristics of MOOCs and their related pedagogical benefits*	

*The pedagogical foundation of MOOCs; http://bit.ly/pedagogymooc 
Abd Karim Alias@2015
MOOCs’ mode of delivery is
essentially grounded in pedagogy
of somewhat more traditional
learning environments
Abd Karim Alias@2015
cMOOCs (Connectivist MOOCs)	

as learners freely navigate
in the MOOC course, it’s
not easy for the MOOC
facilitator to keep track of
their progress.
based on
connectivism
More learner-
centered
Learning may also take
place outside the official
MOOC platform
Abd Karim Alias@2015
Learners must be able to make
connections of the new information
to what they already know about the
topic under consideration
Learners must be able to maintain
connections with other people
through social networks
Abd Karim Alias@2015
In a cMOOC environment the participants in
the course act as both teachers and students,
sharing information and engaging in a joint
teaching and learning experience through
intense interaction facilitated by technology.
Abd Karim Alias@2015
xMOOCs (Extended MOOCs)	

computer-marked
assignments
specially designed
platform software
peer
assessment
no or very light
discussion moderation
Abd Karim Alias@2015
The latest trend is a mixed approach that
combines constructivism, social learning and
connectivism, to form the ideal mix that best
fits MOOC’s conceptualization of learning.
Abd Karim Alias@2015
83% of current online
learners already
posses a two-year or
four-year degree and
that most of them
have a stable job*.

Unlocking MOOC Data IsThe Game Changer
Useful data from course

valuable data in identifying the

*Video Is Great, But Unlocking MOOC Data Is The Game Changer; http://bit.ly/1XW0Cr1
“If two students in a university class of a hundred
give a wrong answer, you would never notice, but
when two thousand people give the same wrong
answer, it’s kind of hard to miss.”
- Daphne Koller, co-founder of Coursera
Data will enable teachers to have actionable
feedback on what is, and what is not, working.
