Abstract

A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is a popular way for universities to deliver course content to a global audience. Increasingly there is a demand for MOOC specializations, which package a series of related courses and a project component. However, the effort to construct such courses or specializations is complex and full of many issues. Agile principles and practices from software engineering can help. This experience report describes our approach and lessons learned in constructing a quality specialization on very tight deadlines.
