The second stage of this research project widened the scope of the study. An additional group of students (n=20) at Nanzan University was recruited to take part in online courses using the FutureLearn and Udacity platforms respectively. Data on the students’ online experience was collected by both researchers through face-to-face interviews and online questionnaires. In addition to individual feedback, focus groups were held before, during, and after the courses were completed. NVivo software was used to facilitate the transcription process and to help collate and highlight key themes from the data. The third stage of this research project focused on an in-depth analysis of the researchers’ findings on the courses such as course construction and material design. The researchers examined students’ experiences with the four MOOC platforms. These findings were complemented by a post-course analysis of the students’ comments. Preliminary findings will be presented at domestic and international conferences. The researchers intend to construct a model for the creation of MOOCs for universities in Japan. This model will provide step-by step guidance for universities on how to set up a MOOC. It is hoped this model will also aid the establishment of inter-institutional MOOCs in the future.
