    Abstract

    In MOOCs both designed and emerging self-assessments depend on available technologies and their affordances. Learners determine, however, whether these technologies are used as intended, to what extent and to what effect. Stud-ying MOOC self-assessment practice can help understand the mechanisms that underlie MOOC leaning and inform design. The paper presents a study of two instances of MOOC implementations from the point of view of self-assessment as it was designed and materialized in practice. The paper is concluded with suggestions for self-assessment design that takes the specific nature of open learning into account.
