Abstract

This paper presents the findings of a pilot to implement a blended learning model by merging content from MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) into a traditional higher education Masters Course. The main objective of the pilot was to examine how a MOOC based flipped classroom model might improve student learning and skills acquisition in a traditional higher education course, as well as to analyze the MOOCs impact on students’ learning behavior. The pilot included MOOCs from different online platforms, none of which were taught or developed by the tutors. Final reports, survey, interviews and report analysis are the techniques used to evaluate this pilot. This paper presents the results of technical and usability investigation, based on students’ findings. Outlines indicate that inclusion of high-quality MOOCs in a higher education flipped classroom can produce significant benefits in transforming the student learning process and the skills they acquire.
