Abstract
This paper presents guidelines and tips from the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) creation process at Georgetown University’s Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS). Topics address the initial planning phase; core elements for MOOC design; the overall instructional design process; the video planning and production process; documentation; copyright; and quality assurance. This paper is meant to provide general guidelines and points to consider but is not intended as a complete guide for MOOC creation.
