Institutions can create or participate in a MOOC in several ways. They can:

  • use a third-party MOOC platform (such as Coursera or edX) to create and host the MOOC;
  • use a locally available learning management system, in association with consumer Internet services (such as YouTube for video streaming, along with Facebook, Twitter and bookmarking services for peer discussions);
  • use their existing eLearning platforms with MOOC-like extensions (e.g., Canvas);
  • use hosted MOOC delivery services, such as Canvas or Sakai, in association with consumer Internet services;
  • build their own MOOC platforms;
  • develop bridge services locally to help learners gain access to courses from known MOOC providers (e.g., China MOOC College, at Guokr.com)
