Course Overview

This MOOC has run at the EMMA platform in the beginning of 2015. The MOOC is now closed and will be no longer available.

In autumn 2013, the Welten Institute (formerly CELSTEC) of the Open Universiteit and Kennisnet have offered a MOOC on E-learning in the context of the EADTU initiative "Opening up education". This current MOOC is a shortened version. Two masterclasses, one on learning analytics and one on multimedia learning material form the core of this MOOC. These masterclasses are complemented by an introduction into e-learning, learning theories, the impact of technology on learning, and the relationship between didactics and e-learning. Furthermore we make use of assignments and hopefully a lot of interaction.
