Challenges in the Implementation of the Carpe Diem approach in the

design of Engineering MOOCs

1. Introduce course teams to the value of the Carpe Diem approach

2. Embed the MOOC characteristics in the design using Carpe Diem

in lessons learned that can be applied by

anyone who would like to make use of the

Carpe Diem approach for flexible MOOC

design. This paper argues that the Carpe

Diem approach needs to be used in an

interative and flexible way, taking into

account the diversity of the course teams

and course leaders as well as the special

characteristics of a MOOC.
