Since 2021, the Global Center of Spatial Methods for Urban Sustainability (SMUS) has developed 15 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that provide practical insights on sustainable cities and communities, integrating local and global perspectives. Alehlí Zanella (Author), and Katleen de Flander (Editor) have summarised these experiences and published the Guide: HOW TO MOOC? A Guide to Creating Massive Open Online Courses.This guide was developed to capture and share the lessons learned by the various SMUS teams around the world who have created these MOOCs, with the goal of making the process of designing and launching smoother and more practical in the future. While it draws on courses related to urban studies, this guide is applicable to any content.
This guide takes you step by step through designing, developing, and launching your own MOOC. Packed with road maps, examples, practical tools, and dos and don’ts from previous courses, it helps you create engaging and impactful online learning experiences.
