Abstract
This paper aims to address the quality issues of Open Online learning and education with
a focus on MOOCs. Specifically, our research goal is to develop the Quality Reference
Framework (QRF) with quality indicators and tools in close collaboration with all
interested stakeholders worldwide. Based on a literature review and analysis of existing
quality approaches and quality indicators for MOOCs, the Global MOOC Quality Survey
was designed and targeted at three core interest groups of MOOCs: MOOC learners,
MOOC designers and MOOC facilitators. A total of n=267 took part in the survey. The
survey results were complemented with 45 semi-structured interviews where MOOC
designers, facilitators and providers were involved. This is to provide a more coherent
picture of the issue on quality of MOOCs by investigating the issue of MOOC quality from
diverse perspectives. The paper presents first results from the survey, semi-structured
interviews and the feedback from workshops at international conferences.
