Moodle Course Design Best Practices - Second Edition

Creating a MOOC

MOOCs are a great way to offer courses and content to potentially large groups and develop a social network that will do a lot to publicize you and your courses/programs.

You can create a MOOC very easily by simply creating a certificate or custom course and adding groups so that you can facilitate discussions. Create the course in the usual way and simply add a forum for a key topic. You may still base assessments on the self-graded quizzes that, when successfully completed, trigger the generation of a certificate or a badge.
