What  is  involved  in  making  a  MOOC  

Planning  –  being  clear  about  “why”    

Time  –  it  will  always  take  you  longer  than  you  expect  

Assessment  –  accredita+on?  Open  Badges  

Your  involvement  –  how  much  interac+on,  ?  Support  from  T/A’s      Promo+on  –  twiMer,  FB,  blogs,  web  site,  promo+onal  video,  etc.
