The paper "
A Usability Evaluation of a Blended MOOC Environment: An Experimental Case Study" with my dear friend Ahmed Mohamed FahmyYousef was published in
IRRODL.
Abstract:
In the past few years, there has been an increasing interest in Massive
Open Online Courses (MOOCs) as a new form of Technology-Enhanced
Learning (TEL), in higher education and beyond. Recognizing the
limitations of standalone MOOCs, blended MOOCs (bMOOCs) that aim at
bringing in-class (i.e. face-to-face) interactions and online learning
components together have emerged as an alternative MOOC model of
teaching and learning in a higher education context. In this paper, we
present the design, implementation, and evaluation details of a bMOOC
course on “Teaching Methodologies” at Fayoum University, Egypt in
cooperation with RWTH Aachen University, Germany, provided using the
bMOOC platform L2P-bMOOC. In order to gauge the usability and
effectiveness of the course, we employed an evaluation approach based on
Conole’s 12 dimensions rubrics, ISONORM 9241/110-S as a general
usability evaluation, and a custom effectiveness questionnaire
reflecting the different MOOC stakeholder perspectives.
