Describing MOOC-based Hybrid initiatives: The H-MOOC Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several studies have described different hybrid initiatives to integrate MOOCs into traditional higher education. Most of these studies have partially documented students’ perception on hybrid initiatives, measuring course satisfaction among other metrics. Few researchers have reported institutional efforts implied in implementing hybrid initiatives and their benefits from a curriculum perspective. This paper presents H-MOOC, a framework that describes hybrid MOOC-based initiatives as a continuum of two factors: (1) institutional effort, and (2) curriculum alignment. H-MOOC facilitates the comparison of different hybrid MOOC-based initiatives by suggesting Key Performance Indicators to measure their impact at an institutional level. Different hybrid initiatives in the literature are analyzed to illustrate how H-MOOC works. An actual case study on a course on Calculus is presented as empirical evidence of its use.
