The Quality Reference Framework (QRF) for MOOCs
The Quality Reference Framework (QRF) for MOOCs is the main result from the MOOQ initiative. It was developed following the mixed method research approach and based on the findings from:
- the Global MOOC Quality Surveys addressing MOOC learners, designers and facilitators (a huge success with hundreds of participants),
- 36 semi-structured interviews conducted with MOOC providers, designers and facilitators (leading to in-depth insights) and
- a series of workshops at international conferences to allow contributions and feedback from all interested stakeholders worldwide.
The QRF is available for download here under open and free license.
