Group Concept Mapping GCM
• A structured approach to objectively identify the common
understanding of a group of experts about a particular
issue
• A few simple activities: generating, sorting and rating of
ideas)
• Robust analysis (MDS Multidimensional scaling; HCA,
Hierarchical cluster analysis. GCM quantitatively aggregate
original participants contribution to show the group’s collective
view (as thematic clusters)
• GCM presents the results from the analysis as conceptual
maps and other graphical representations (pattern matches
and go-zones)

1 Assessment
Fred de Vries
• Include student peer review in the evaluation
• Include case-studies, interaction and group work in the
assessment
• Assessments should be evaluated for their reliability and validity
2 Organizational issues
Fred de Vries
• Clear contact point/person for questions. Contact points for
specific topics (technical, administrative, content issues)
• Define the technical tools students are assumed to be able to use
for the specific MOOC
• Share the learning materials and resources openly, using for
instance, Creative Commons CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA licensing
3 Hybrid construction and technological affordance
Fred de Vries
• Take into account the possibilities of the platform you will use from
the start of the design process
• Explore affordances of emerging technologies
• If MOOC must be suitable for inclusion in regular university
programs, the design should be flexible to enable the adaptation
of the MOOC to the guidelines of the university
4 Instructional strategies
Fred de Vries
• Confront learners with a problem, issue, challenge, preferably,
real-life one
• Provide for each task explicit support in terms of background
information, examples, procedures, methods, techniques, and
tools
• Focus not only on personalisation but also on collective
intelligence.
5 Self-directed learning
Fred de Vries
• Participants are expected to work individually and take control of
their learning
• Each participant forges her/his own learning path through the
materials
• Involve the participants in deliberate practicing and creating
artefacts
6 Learning design theoretical background
Fred de Vries
• Look at the classical online learning and teaching for inspiration
for MOOC pedagogies
• Consider heutagogy, i.e. a theoretical approach that sees learners
as highly self-determined individuals
• A more nuanced approach (not only xMOOC vs cMOOC) is
needed that takes into account an analysis of MOOC pedagogy at
a micro level of individual course design
7 Learning networks
Fred de Vries
• Try to generate a community of interest among learners that go
beyond the MOOC itself
• Promote social collaboration among students internally as well as
among external networks
• MOOCs rely on the benefits of scale though significant interaction
with a distributed network of peers
