The goals of the project are to explore, define and articulate the emerging design principles and patterns that underpin the development and delivery of massive open online courses, and to demonstrate them by the application to the design of new MOOCS. The context of the proposal is multidimensional in that it incorporates input from diverse but complimentary perspectives that include designers, deliverers, researchers, learners and tutors who are engaged in MOOCS and Open and Distance Learning more broadly. The project has revolved around three core workshop sessions with follow up events, see below: Workshop 1: from design narratives to design patterns (27/05/14) - completed Workshop 2: refining and mapping design patterns (09/07/14) - completed Workshop 3: writer's workshop (16/01/15) - details here Workshop 4: rapid design challenge (at RIDE 2015 conference, 06/03/15) - details here Follow up 5th workshop: rapid design session at eMOOC conference 18/05/15 - details here Workshop 6: Design a MOOC in a SNaP! will be run at the ECTEL conference in Toledo (15/09/15) - details here
