The present thesis aims to design and develop a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Algebra, aimed at 2cod grade of Hight School students. Its goal is to prepare students for their successful performance in the June’s final exams or the September’s retake exams.
Before the course design, the findings from an online research conducted to identify similar electronic courses are presented. Eight electronic courses are showcased. The educational goals they set, the strategies they follow, as well as their objectives are discussed.
Next, the detailed course design is presented. The learning objectives are outlined, along with the assessment methods, the prerequisite knowledge, and the course duration. Additionally, a detailed flowchart of the course is provided, as well as a comprehensive table describing the course structure, each activity in detail, and the teaching materials used. The complete version of the electronic course is included in the Appendix of this thesis.
At the same time, a separate chapter presents the implementation of the course through the edunext.com platform. This chapter analyzes and justifies the use of presentation and assessment tools for the knowledge provided. In this way, the philosophy of the MOOC is highlighted, along with the practical application of the theory on which it was designed and implemented.
Moreover, a specialized evaluation rubric for the electronic course has been created and completed. The rubric responses are commented on and discussed to clearly highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the course, as well as any deficiencies. Finally, conclusions are drawn based on the evaluation the online course underwent, and improvements are proposed, focusing on its weaknesses and shortcomings.
