Lessons we learned when creating four Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Over the past two years, our team of three (one professor, one video editor, and one student) has designed, filmed, and launched four free Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on the edX platform along with several YouTube short courses. In this paper, we will share our motivations behind these courses, along with details of our filming setup (recommended equipment and costs), timeline, workload, and finally enrolment statistics and feedback from students who have benefitted from the courses. We found that MOOCs are highly appreciated by students around the world if they are well-designed.
