M assive Open Online Courses (MOOC) are built on the impression that “information is everywhere” by extending access to education. A MOOC is a course, but it is open, distributed, participatory, and part of lifelong network learning. The underlying idea of a MOOC is accessibility, since anyone can participate by working collaboratively either to acquire new knowledge or to expand existing knowledge. This implies that MOOCs create a pathway for lifelong learning processes. MOOCs are online classes in which anyone can participate, regardless of location, in most cases for free. They are comprised of short video lectures, simulations, and online labs combined with computer-graded tests and online forums where participants can discuss the course content or get help (Hoy, 2014). Basically, MOOCs are a form of online learning that share some common features: open access using the Internet, free of charge, asynchronous, interactive user forums, and the opportunity to receive a certificate upon successful completion (EDUCAUSE, 2011). Student Üçüncü nesil uzaktan e¤itim kapsam›nda kitlesel aç›k eriflim çevrimiçi dersler (massive open online courses, MOOC’lar) sayesinde yüksek ö¤renimde herkes istedi¤i yerden ücretsiz e¤itim alabilmektedir. Son y›llarda, e¤itimde MOOC’lar›n yeri üzerine birçok çal›flma yap›lm›flt›r, ancak ö¤rencilerin kazan›mlar› üzerine olan çal›flmalar s›n›rl›d›r. Bu çal›flmada, aç›k eriflim çevrimiçi derslerin tasarlanmas›na yönelik birtak›m önerileri belirlemek amac›yla, ö¤rencilerin MOOC’lardaki kazan›mlar›na iliflkin literatürü gözden geçirildi. ‹nceleme, bilimsel literatür veritabanlar›n›n sistematik olarak araflt›r›lmas›n›n ard›ndan, 3P (presage [öngörü], process [süreç] ve product [ürün]) ö¤retim ve ö¤renim modelinin temel bileflenlerine yönelik elefltirel bir analizle gerçeklefltirildi (Biggs, 2003). 56 yay›n›n bulgular› sentezlenerek, ö¤rencilerin kat›l›m›n› ve akademik baflar›y› gelifltirmek ve terk etme oranlar›n› düflürmek amac›yla 13 ders tasar›m› önerisi gelifltirildi. Gerek ileriki araflt›rmalarda incelenmek üzere gerek ise de MOOC’lar›n mevcut içeri¤ini gelifltirerek ve zenginlefltirerek ö¤renim kazan›mlar›n› en iyi hale getirmek için baz› uygulama önerileri sunuldu.
