Books aren't data The EPUB format is strictly XML-based. From the metadata to the table of contents to the book content, an EPUB file must be almost entirely composed of text marked up in well-defined XML schemas. Those schemas allow the EPUB book to be validated by a computer program that follows the schema and other well-defined business rules, ensuring consistent production. At the other end of the workflow, those same schemas would assure reading systems of the predictability of the books added to them.

Very few Moocs lead to any sort of officially recognised qualification, so the recent success of the University of the People in being permitted to award degrees to students studying for its tuition-free, online-only courses marks a departure for the sector.

The degree and quality of tutor interactions is seen as critical to any chance of success by others in the sector, too.

Mooc providers need to find ways to make the assessment richer, more meaningful and more reliable at scale for larger audiences."

These better options include courses from providers such as the Open University and Ed2Go that provide "quality education for specific certificate programs in a much more personalised setting at very competitive prices and, in many cases, to developing nations gratis."

Thanks for this. I'm currently trying to put together TMA03. I'm really interested in OU Live but struggling to select a second technology. I'm tempted to look at either Wikis or blogs. This article looks as though it's really interesting should I select Wikis. I hope you're enjoying the course. Teresa

This is a professional development course for which the teaching methods currently used in MOOCs – videos, forums and quizzes* – are appropriate, because teachers are professionals who know how to learn, and can learn a lot from each other. These methods are not sophisticated enough for teaching children or even undergraduates in the developing world, which is why the beneficiaries are still the rich. But they may help to train the professionals who can begin to make the difference.
