14 Part 2 Challenges From my point of view working with FlexPhil

15 Institutional challenges -culture and ability to change MOOC was a unknown concept at the university in general The IT department/dml-group had a lot of competent people, but no experience in actual building a MOOC How to allocate internal resources? How to implement new concepts in a complex organization with many stakeholders How to make a MOOC for the Facebook generation, without coming in conflict with the academic culture? At the Institute of philosophy we met a lot of positivity

16 The student challenge Who are in the target group and what are their needs? What is the best way for MOOC-students to work with the subject matter? What media and tools are they familiar with How to make an exciting and meaningful course for digital natives and Facebook users?

17 The mediapedagogical challenge How to teach and communicate the subject matter? How to build the MOOC with the right tools and good functionality? Mandatory TEST to advance to next module? Mandatory structure for all Which technical platform should we use? Should the course run without any participation from teachers?
