Students as Teachers in MOOCs? The Double Gain of MOOCs as an in-Class Teaching Method Experiences from a Student-Made MOOC “Online Data Privacy”

Joachim Griesbaum

Abstract—MOOCs are an opportunity to think of learning as an interaction of different people and groups in totally new ways. This paper proposes a didactic setting in which students act as teachers in a MOOC and asks the question, if there is a double gain of MOOCs when employed as an in-class teaching method and as a worldwide learning environment. The analysis of a case study, a student made MOOC “Online data privacy”, delivers first insights into the feasibility and didactic value of such a novel approach.

Index Terms—Case study, MOOC, teaching method.
