Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have emerged as an innovative form of
education in the broader field of Technology-Enhanced Learning, offering new
attractive opportunities for higher Education, lifelong learning, and professional
development and training. High demands create substantial challenges, resulting in
intense skepticism and dubiety regarding the Quality of Educational Design and the
methods utilized to ensure it.
This work aims to compile a useful list of criteria for Quality Assurance (QA) and
the enhancement of it in the Instructional Design (ID) of MOOCs. Initially, the
concept of quality, as defined in the literature, is examined in detail. Subsequently,
existing Quality Assurance Tools (QAT) are compared and applied to actual MOOCs
through the analysis of their instructional design. The expected outcome of the
research is to draw substantial conclusions regarding quality attributes in a course
intending to utilize them as specifications for future educational designing or
redesigning of online courses.
The primary research objectives focus on identifying the criteria that attribute
quality characteristics to the educational design of online courses and finding the
best practice for composing quality specifications based on existing Quality
Assurance Tools. To achieve these objectives, research questions are posed,
analyzed, and matched with each stage of the process, while exploring the key
concepts embedded within them.
