Organizational Areas for Improvement when Realizing MOOCs at Universities

This policy paper addresses organizational areas for improvement when universities start producing MOOCs. These areas surface in the intersection between educational practice and MOOC policies, and they will be discussed in three parts in the paper. First, we describe the organizational context in which this paper is based. Second, we outline four organizational challenges that can shape the conditions for developing MOOCs at universities. Third, we suggest strategies to shape educational policies and solve organizational challenges. As MOOC developers, our intention with this paper is to describe how receptive universities are when adopting and implementing MOOCs.
