Abstract

At this moment many universities have developed their own MOOCs, open for students all over the world. This new way of distant learning stimulated the development of innovative teaching/learning models and new learning materials. In recent years at some universities, experiments were running focused on the integration of MOOCs material in regular courses. The shortcomings of regular MOOCs as high dropout rates, incomplete assignments and missing cooperation between students have been solved by a new didactic model, hybrid course and mandatory presence. The role of teachers has been changed from massive oral presentation to course manager. The integration of MOOCs has been tested in several courses at TUDelft and a controlled experiment at Czech Technical University in Prague
