"In the first part of this two part webinar series we discussed the motivations, business models, and monetization sstrategies that are driving today's MOOC resurgence.

In this second session, we will drill further into the pedagogies and social modalities that are driving the design of today's MOOCs. We will outline core functional and technical requirements for an effective MOOC platform and discuss the best practices for building and deploying your MOOC. As part of this discussion, we will review several MOOC platforms that have emerged in the open source and commercial market, and evaluate the benefits and issues with the various approaches. Lastly, we will look into the near future and the emergence of Massively Open Online Networks (MOONs), which seek to go beyond the course to develop broader, more sustainable environments that bring together online courses, communities and new models of collaboration and social networking to ensure the student’s success.

In this webinar, you will learn:
How to think about and develop your strategy for entering the MOOC market;
How MOOCs differ from traditional online courses and why the technical requirements differ from traditional LMS-centric models;
The role of social networking, gamification, stream-based collaboration and other social modalities in MOOCs;
What the best practices and potential pitfalls are for developing and deploying MOOCs; and
What the different products and technologies, and associated business models and costs, are for building your MOOCs and MOONs."
