Why Open MOOCs?

• Many members want to participate but don’t have the opportunity, or want a test before committing fully

• Opportunity for us to leverage existing OER and add benefits of interaction and data collection offered by edX platform

• Combine open enrollment with open content to create a diverse array of Open MOOCs

• edX uses open source software

We will be known as OECx. Member offerings will come under this portal, carrying the name of the authoring institution. The authoring institution decides which open license to use.

Key points for participation

• Must be a member of the OEC

• MOOC must be built from existing open content, but can be enhanced to become more MOOC-friendly

• No cost for members to participate, though resources need to be allocated to developing and facilitating the MOOCs

• Pilot of a limited number of courses for Sept-Nov, then will open up to greater participation

Options for OECx MOOCs

• MOOCs can be offered in any language

• Length can range from 2 weeks to 15 weeks; we encourage shorter

• MOOCs can be facilitated or self-paced

• Certificates can be offered

• Series can be offered, from one institution or between institutions

• We can be more creative with pedagogy: remixed content, team teaching/co-authoring, sequence options, etc.
