This workshop will cover two main areas for enhancing your MOOCs and SPOCs - discussion forums and proctored exams.

When developing MOOCs and SPOCs, online discussion forums are a key element to foster interaction, develop a sense of community and ultimately work toward higher level learning outcomes. This session will look at how to build discussions into your courses, looking at best practices and techniques to ensure that your learners gain maximum benefit from this central component of online education.

Proctored exams are being increasingly used to provide secure examinations for online courses, particularly in credit-bearing courses such as edX MicroMasters programs. This part of the workshop will look at the practicalities and usage of this innovative approach.
