Description
VMOOCs (VietTESOL Massive Open Online Courses) is a professional development group of VietTESOL, established in 2021 with the mission of providing facilitated MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) to VietTESOL members. To date, eight VMOOCs have been successfully conducted, each attracting an average of 500-700 participants, notably with the first course boasting over 1000 registered enrollees. These VMOOCs are adapted from relevant courses within the OPEN (Online Professional English Network) program sponsored by the US Department of State, selected based on the needs analysis of VietTESOL members.
The organizing team and key members of VMOOCs are accomplished alumni of the OPEN program, driven by a shared commitment to fostering a vibrant teaching and learning community.
At VietTESOL International Convention 2024, a brief overview of VMOOCs development process, from planning, staffing, quality management, facilitator and participant recruitment, as well as implementation and evaluation will be presented.
Additionally, the VMOOCs organizing team will share valuable insights gained from delivering effective online courses, highlighting enhancements made in content, assessment, support services, interaction, engagement, and collaboration opportunities.
