Instructional Design of MOOCs: Developing an Interactive Constructor for Creating eLearning Videos

Abstract

In this proposal, we describe the doctoral research on developing an interactive constructor for creating learner-centric educational videos in MOOCs. The literature review and informal interviews with the MOOC creators, indicate that such a tool will help teachers to create effective educational videos for MOOCs. The development of the new constructor will be based on the review of existing constructors, teachers’ feedback about challenges in using them, and well-researched instructional design principles and theories. The interactive constructor will include feedback, self-review, prompts, etc. to scaffold the teachers to create engaging video scripts for MOOCs.
