2. Lessons learned at UPV
• UPV published MOOCs in Google+, MiriadaX, OpenEdX and now in EMMA and EdX
• UPV MOOCs are xMOOCs: Search on the Internet and Excel 2010 for EMMA
• No problem to manually insert video and text content.
– But UPV used to insert content automatically into MOOC platforms
• Not all assignment formats were supported
– Adaptation of assignments was required
• From Forums to Conversations
– Lecturers used to find learners’ comments in a single location (Forum)
– Comments in EMMA are distributed at the level of Course, Lesson and Unit
• Review effort for transcriptions and translations must not be underestimated
– Spanish transcription: Real-Time Factor (RTF) 2.7
– Spanish→English translation: RTF 8.9
• Transcription and translation review must start well before the course is open
