Chaired by Uwe Egly and Hilda Tellioglu, Faculty of Informatics, TU Wien, this pre-summit workshop includes experiences from authors who have been running MOOCs, have supported the production of MOOCs, have been involved in the selection of MOOCs or have analysed data for their university. It also includes using MOOC-related technology in other contexts, in particular, for on-campus education.

The workshop aims to share experiences, results and solutions, and to document problems.

Topics of interest include:

• MOOC production: costs, processes, pitfalls
• MOOC selection: criteria for selection, how to motivate teachers, feedback from students
• MOOC introduction: strategies, phases, evaluation
• MOOC data: drop-out rates, student demographics, popular activities, etc.
• Integration with existing e-learning initiatives and learning management systems
• Failures and successes in flipped classrooms
• Pedagogical support to teachers
