Quality criteria in MOOC: Comparative and proposed indicators

The MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) offer revolution requires processes that can define their quality, especially due to the number of courses offered, as well as the high number of students enrolled in them. The objective of this study is to identify the main requirements and indicators of the MOOC following the ENQA (The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education) considerations. To establish this system, the study has been carried out through the Delphi method with successive rounds of application from the systematic use of expert judgment. This method has been applied to achieve consensus on a set of requirements and indicators of 20 experts from eight different institutions in the field of application and development of MOOCs that assessed the indicators according to the quality criteria according to three aspects: relevance, feasibility, and comparability. Therefore, the outcome of this study is a system as a mechanism for the university to approve or disapprove a MOOC (checklist) and assess its quality.
