Good detailed post (15 page PDF) that takes a lengthy look at a collaborative MOOC design process. The primary mechanism is a tool called the CoDe-Graph; there are illustrations and photos of the process being used in face-to-face meetings. CoDe-Graph is a graphical template "based largely on the ideas of orchestration graphs and scripts, which combine different learning arrangements with each other." A CoDe-Graph is essentially a use case diagram rotated -90 degrees, so instead of being read from the top down, it is read from left to right. So software designers will find the iterative development process very familiar. The article describes the process as applied to some specific cases: MOOCs for single mothers in Malaysia, a secluded community in Malaysia, fishers in Indonesia, business owners and university students, and rural health workers in the Philippines.
