MOOC Consultant & Trainer in Geneva

MOOCs and SPOCs have transformed large-scale learning — from university courses to corporate onboarding. I train your Swiss teams to design, produce and deploy online courses that engage thousands of learners while maintaining pedagogical rigour.

Why MOOCs demand a specific design approach

A MOOC is not a filmed lecture series. Successful massive online courses require a fundamentally different design approach: short video segments, active learning activities, peer interaction, automated assessment and analytics-driven iteration.

I deliver training that covers the full MOOC production lifecycle — from learning objectives and content scripting to video production, platform deployment (OpenEdX, Coursera, internal LMS) and learner analytics. Every programme draws on real examples from Swiss universities, NGOs and corporations.

Whether you are building a public MOOC, a corporate SPOC (Small Private Online Course) or an internal knowledge-sharing platform, the design principles remain the same — and that is what this training teaches.

Scale does not mean sacrifice: well-designed MOOCs engage thousands without compromising learning quality.

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering…

What is the difference between a MOOC and a SPOC?
A MOOC is open to anyone at massive scale; a SPOC is a small, private version for a defined audience — often used by corporations for onboarding or compliance.
Which platform do you recommend for corporate MOOCs?
OpenEdX, Moodle and 360Learning are strong options. The choice depends on your scale, budget and integration requirements.
How long does it take to produce a MOOC?
A well-designed MOOC typically takes 3 to 6 months from design to launch. The training accelerates this by teaching efficient production workflows.
Can a small organisation benefit from MOOC methodology?
Absolutely — MOOC design principles (microlearning, active assessment, analytics) improve any online learning, regardless of scale.
