Abstract

Although the term MOOC is prevalent in the media coverage and in the scientific literature, the actual courses offer a wide spectrum of variation, leading to a large number of initiatives proposing classifications and typologies in the last two years. This paper describes a complementary approach of systematic characterisation that consists of identifying the dimensions according to which the specificity of MOOC and their variation can be best described. Deliberately focused on instructional design issues, the model proposes seven dimensions of characterisation whose relevance is assessed through the analysis of four examples of MOOC.
