Abstract
The study of this project focuses on the development of a connectivist massive open online course (MOOC) using Moodle, an open-source software. Ten MOOCs were analyzed for information that could be used to apply best practices in my course prototype. In addition to analyzing MOOCs, the history, learning theories, technology, and course production methods were also explored. This information was combined to help produce a prototype of a working course that displays the desired characteristics. The course was set up in Moodle with all working parts, including the second week’s module that included a video lecture, suggested readings, and discussion topics. An ideal approach to the course was also included in the writeup.
