The latest issue of the Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung (Journal for Higher Education Development / ZFHE) was just published: Issue 18/1 (March 2023) on "Massive Open Online Courses und ihre Rolle in der digitalen (Hochschul-)Lehre", edited by Martin Ebner, Thomas Staubitz, Markus Koschutnig-Ebner & Sebastian Serth.

 

About the issue:

Massive Open Online Courses, MOOCs for short, are online courses with a large number of participants that are usually made available free of charge on special platforms. Starting with Sebastian Thrun’s course on artificial intelligence with more than 160,000 participants, MOOCs became increasingly popular. Particularly since the COVID19 pandemic, they have become an indispensable part of university life and often are an integral part of university courses. MOOCs serve in a broad range of various ways to support continuing education, workshops or joint lectures. This issue of ZFHE called for contributions around MOOCs and thus provides insights into the manifold developments. In the current issue, you will find exciting contributions with experience reports, latest findings, further developments and didactic applications. We invite you to join us in further exploring this innovative, promising and sustainable topic.

In addition to the online version, the issue will also be available in bookshops as a print publication. For more information, visit https://www.zfhe.at/index.php/zfhe/print.
