The first moocshop surveyed the rapidly expanding ecosystem of Massive Open Online Courses. Participants were included in a cross-institutional and cross-platform dialogue in order to articulate and synthesize the plurality of challenges that arise when evaluating and designing MOOCs. While the forms and functions of MOOCs are currently evolving, we aimed to develop a shared foundation for an interdisciplinary field of inquiry moving forward.We invited researchers, technologists, and course designers from universities and industry to share their approaches and perspectives on key topics, including analytics and data mining, assessment, credentialing, pedagogy, platform design, data standards, and privacy.Date: July 9th @ the Artificial Intelligence in Education Conference in Memphis, Tennessee (AIED Workshop Schedule)Location: Methodist Presentation Theater, FedEx Institute of Technology (Conference Website) This workshop day directly follows the Educational Data Mining Conference, co-located with AIED.
