MOOCs, massive open online courses, have become widely popular and wildly successful as ways of delivering interactive and media-rich courses to very large numbers of students across a variety of subjects. Whilst the established platforms such as FutureLearn, edX, Coursera and Udemy get most of the publicity and enrolments it is possible to reach specialist audiences, for example refugees, non-traditional students or language learners, with a MOOC approach but using a more flexible, cost-effective and participative technologies. This event will provide participants with ideas and skills to take this forward.
