Combining the concept of distance learning and the idea of “Education for all”, Massive Open Online Courses were bound to go big. Starting plain and simple, MOOCs have stacked up tons of courses, using various online tools to assemble learning content. These online courses respect certain technical specifications and the following four characteristics: they leverage web formats, are collaborative, contain evaluation modules, and are limited in time.
Getting on to COOCs, which is the corporate expression of MOOCs. They can be external, where anyone can sign up, most times for free, in a structure similar to university-level MOOCs, or internal that apply the same methods and modalities, but in a closed environment. You can read an analysis of external COOCs, their use as communication tools, client education and expertise certification, corporate branding, and sourcing. You also get the main differences of internal MOOCs to traditional eLearning.
The focus moves on to the structure of corporate MOOC, and 360Learning offers a step-by-step guide within the pages of MOOC & COOC - Creating Effective And Impactful Digital Training Programs. You can learn how the workload is divided and all the other steps required. These are: defining educational content, production, technical integration, communication, course animation, and course overview. Chances are that you’ll be reading those repeatedly, as they contain loads of valuable insight.
Towards the end, the authors of this volume deal with certain types of MOOCs, in a way of giving advice and examples. Read on what a module is, how it should be, and how to integrate your content in a quick and efficient way. You’ll also be introduced to the various formats that a course can take, plus a presentation of a typical case study, and a typical course exam module.
