ABSTRACT
This paper explores the key features for achieving systems and tools scalability for online learning. We created large scale tools used in popular online courses on teaching and learning programming with Linux that take advantage of client-side web technologies. We advocate for more compatible, interoperable and light tools and systems that are resilient, elastic, traceable, responsive and secure. We also think social features should be considered like friendliness, accessibility, openness and re-usability. Those features could be used to assess the quality and the scalability potential of MOOCs by choosing different metrics to evaluate for each introduced feature. In doing so we hope to diversify the standard indicators of the success of online courses, especially regarding their scalability, and give some examples for STEM courses.

Technique to develop effective e-learning software to simulate a teacher using SCORM based interactive multimedia RLO for non-linear teaching
The Reusable Learning Objects (RLO) are small, self-contained modules of learning that tackle a single concept, information, procedure or fact that can be delivered independently. To develop independent RLO for linear teaching method is a ...
From e-learning to games-based e-learning: using interactive technologies in teaching an IS course
The e-phenomenon has profoundly changed many aspects of society and, inevitably, has a commensurate impact on higher education. E-learning has now evolved from a marginal form of education to a commonly accepted alternative to traditional face-to-face ...
An application of a virtual learning environment in support of teaching and learning for design and technology education
Audiovisual advances in Virtual Reality (VR) technology have given rise to innovative ways to teach and learn. However, so far, teaching and learning processes have been technologically driven as opposed to pedagogically led. This article identifies the ...
