Mastering MOOCs: Creating Engaging Online Learning Experiences

“Mastering MOOCs” is a comprehensive training course designed to equip educators and instructional designers with the skills and knowledge needed to create dynamic and engaging training on MOOC platforms. Participants will explore the key principles of effective online course design and delivery through a combination of theory, practical exercises, and a case study. This course enables participants to create compelling and influential MOOCs that inspire and engage learners around the world, from using multimedia resources to fostering interactive discussions.

Activities to be undertaken in the project:

• organising a training course for 24 people from 6 European countries, where participants will work on real projects of online courses, supported by experienced mentors.
• organising workshops focused on the best practices for creating multimedia content and interactive activities.
• conducting sessions on strategies for building and maintaining participant engagement in online courses through interactive discussions, participant collaboration, and feedback from instructors.
• providing training on online course evaluation methods and continuous improvement, including collecting learner feedback, analysing course metrics and implementing iterative improvements.

• We raise awareness of the MOOC model: Participants will get an in-depth knowledge of the benefits and challenges connected with online education on MOOC platforms.
• We pick up new skills in creating educational content: Participants will learn to create multimedia-rich content, interactive activities and grades adjusted to different learning styles.
