4. More interesting results
• Campus students were the beta-testers
of the MOOC
• The MOOC was used to create a new
campus course
• Cycles of improvement at campus and
online
• Direct access in LMS vs. Interaction with
a broader community in MOOC

4. Teachers’ perspective (1)
• Engagement of campus students
(Flipped classroom)
• Study the material together
• Most cases an increase in the final grade
and a decrease on students retention
• More use of OER

14. 14
4. Teachers’ perspective (2)
• Deep or side discussions when flipping
• Don’t use just the exam for grading
• Rethink the number of contact hours
• Selection process for 1st years students
• Credits for MOOCs
• Professionalization of teachers
