Step 1 - Never walk alone

✤ ... cause you need very different talents.

✤ ... cause it‘s more fun to do it together.

✤ ... cause it might be hell of a work.

✤ ... cause you can vote.

✤ ... cause you stay flexible.

Step 2 - Do what you love to find your topic

✤ Is what your‘re doing what you love anyway?

✤ Alternatively: What would you like to know more about?

Step 3 - Create a "Home-Base"

✤ A „Home-Base“ is where you feel online at home.

✤ e.g. your LMS

✤ e.g. your blog

✤ e.g. a forum

✤ e.g. even a Twitter account

Step 4 - MOOCing needs ... Marketing

✤ Spread the word. (e.g. Twitter, blog, connections, hashtag)

✤ Use your favourite tool.

✤ And use your non-favourite tools.

Step 5 - Content (still) is King

✤ Deliver quality input.

✤ Reading lists

✤ Link lists

✤ Videos

✤ Audio (e.g. jingle, AudioBoo comments)

Step 6 - More hands to help

✤ Special roles evoke commitment!

✤ Starters

✤ Experts on Air

✤ WIKI Experts

✤ Reflective Ones

✤ ?

Step 7 - Provide some synch time

✤ Why time you spend online the SAME TIME your peers do from time to time is essential.

Step 8 - Just do it!

✤ A (good) reason to do it now.

✤ A (very good) reason to do it later.

Step 9 - Write down your own learnings

✤ My personal learnings are the following MOOC Dont‘s

✤ Try to be perfect.

✤ Try to control everything.

✤ Fill every gap (participants need room)

✤ Try to collect all info/data created by participants

Step 10 - Start from the beginning

✤ To make a MOOC is like living your life. -> You keep starting from the beginning. ;)

✤ Points/Topics to start with

✤ With whom?

✤ What subject?

✤ Duration of MOOC?
