This is developed as a resource for our faculty development program at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Learning Technology Center to assist those interested in designing and delivering a MOOC in planning and preparation. This is an adaptation of our previous 10 questions for blended and online as well as more previous work on designing, delivering, and making MOOCs by Siemens and by Schroeder.

I have much the same reaction: where is the revenue to support MOOCs supposed to come from? Huge numbers of people sign up for them when the courses are free, but charge even token fees as the number will drop enormously—probably to closer to the number who currently finish such courses. I signed up for Google’s course on searching, but when the time came for the course, I was too busy to do it. Had they asked for $1 for the course, I would not have signed up, knowing that there was a very high probability that I wouldn’t be able to attend.
