Description

A seven-week MOOC developed by a Chinese university in 2014 and offered on the iCourse 163 platform, targeting in-service and pre-service teachers. Each unit followed a different design: "Unit 1 followed a traditional lecture-based design", Unit 2 case-based learning, Unit 3 project-based, Unit 4 case-based with reading activities, and Unit 5 problem-based. The article states that "it is precisely this variety and diversity of the learning design that made this MOOC unique and provided a suitable research context to address the research questions".
