8. WE’RE JUST MOOCING ABOUT NOW!
CONTEXT
Why does the institution want to offer a MOOC?
How does a MOOC fit into the strategic plan?
What problem is being solved by offering a MOOC?
What theory underpins our MOOC strategy?

9. STILL MOOCING…
CONTEXT
Is the MOOC a safe way to jump into the online
market?
What does it mean to be “open”?
• Should we look at “closed” or “private”?
What does “massive” mean in our context?
• Should we look at “small”?

10. WHERE THERE’S MOOC THERE’S BRASS
• The University of London International
Programmes expects to recruit 45 fee-paying
students as a result of the MOOCs it ran earlier
this year.
• U of L hopes to generate at least £200,000 from
students who otherwise would not have enrolled
on its fee-paying programmes.
• Implications for our MOOC

11. The MOOC is Dead ……

12. …… Long Live the MOOC
