4. Why makes MOOCs different
Relies on collaboration and interaction
Creating a network of people and information
There no right or wrong way to take a course
Independency and autonomy of the learner (to a certain degree)

6. The Framework Step 2: Analyze and identify
Goals: (experimentation, lead generating, inspire/motivate, educate, professional development, build teaching repertoire, personal development) alingning them with institution’s vision Audience (primary and secondary), their size , background, state perquisites, state effort and implication needed, state language used, consider learners with special needs Timelines: When to release? (weekly basis generally) Pace (self paced, instructor lead) Contracts (faculty, institution, provider)

7. The Framework Step 3: Prepare and develop
There are no universal standards that define how course content should be or what structure it should follow, however there are sets of best practices. It is common to divide content into chunks of information that are made as independent as possible.
Content could be in the form of:
- Videos ( length varies but the advised is between 3 to 12, the use of transcripts, substitutes)
- Audios and podcasts
- Text (PDFs, Word documents, articles, eBooks, links)
- Mix of the above (voice-over ppts and so forth)
(=> media creation best practices, legal matters)

8. The Framework Step 3: Prepare and develop
Means of assessment:
Quizzes and tests (generally multiple choice machine graded, essays are not very encouraged if it’s a massive course)
Projects
Involvement in discussions and group work
Peer assessment accuracy
Means of interaction
Elaborate discussion forums (humanizes the experience)
Encourage group work and communication on other platforms (build motivation to pursue the course)
Build faculty interaction (faculty presence tends to add personality to course)

9. The Framework Step 3: Prepare and develop
Common structure (sample)
Introduction
Detailed explanation of the course flow, the goals and outcomes, the assessment, the interaction, the team or university... (Link to how to browse through the course )
Course survey (gathering data)
Weeks
Introduction to the week: Specific outcomes and objectives
Subsections
Content + assignment
Week assignments
Explore section
Final test
Course closure (information about grading and certificates if applies, survey and data gathering, marketing)
(Explore sections)

10. The Framework Step 4: Implement
Ensuring a good communication between team members
Monitoring the course is key (even though it is time consuming)
