Have you ever heard of Coursera, edX, FutureLearn, iversity, Open2Study and others? They are MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) platforms; and you can study free online courses in subject areas of your interest offered by a wide range of universities including the elite ones there.  This sharing session focuses on HarvardX courses and allows us in the roles of  MOOC end-users/developers to collectively examine:

·         What kind of contents in original face-to-face courses are selected for the online delivery in your selected MOOC course?

·         Is/Are there any teaching and learning approach(es) embodied in your selected MOOC course?

·         What are different technological tools available and how are they used in your selected MOOC course?

·         ………………………………………..

*To benefit the most from the sharing session, those who enroll are required to audit/take at least one HarvardX course at https://www.edx.org/course-list/harvardx/allsubjects/allcourses

**This sharing session is co-organized by EDC and CoP on “Using Blackboard LMS to Enhance Learning and Teaching”.
