BALDOMERO, Miguel; VAZQUEZ-CANO, Esteban  and  BELANDO-MONTORO, María. Design of a Model for the Assessment of MOOC Quality Using Fuzzy Logic. REDIE [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.4, pp.73-85. ISSN 1607-4041.  https://doi.org/10.24320/redie.2018.20.4.1663.

The proliferation of MOOCs and mass, open education calls for rigorous processes able to determine the quality of the education they offer. This paper puts forward a comparative analysis of evaluation indicators for two instruments used to assess the quality of MOOCs: EduTool® and UMUMOOC. To this end, the weightings of the sub-factors for each dimension of the two instruments were analyzed using fuzzy logic. After an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of both tools, this study proposes a quality assessment construct as a five-vertex pyramid, or a five-dimensional representation. At the center of gravity is “the recognition of training for employability”. Thus, from this solid foundation, assessment tools would need to be structured in the following dimensions: learning design, communication-interaction, planning-management, levels of accessibility, and learning methodology.

Keywords : Online teaching; MOOC; Quality assessment; EduTool.
