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.

This Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is intended for teachers who want to design a course or redesign an existing course, and want to alternate between online learning and face-to-face meetings. During this MOOC we analyse various examples of blended learning. In addition, you are able to work on an extra assignment in which you are developing a design of a course that makes effective and attractive use of internet technology.
You are able to underpin your choices on the basis of literature.

The MOOC has a duration of seven weeks. The subjects covered are: testing, assessment and providing feedback, communication and collaborative learning, communication and individual learning, and developing learning material, all, of course, with the help of internet technology.

Each study task contains assignments that you put to the other participants. In addition, you can deepen your knowledge about blended learning by choosing elaboration assignments or by making a redesign.

We ask you to actively participate and respond to products of the other participants.

The study load is about three hours per week. Participation in this course is free.
