After discussing innovation and change in the online learning context, participants will consider ways in which MOOCs or other teaching and learning online innovations could be implemented at their institutions.

* Exploring the MOOC's evolution and how the various models address student needs
* Considering what can be transferred from what we know of the online learning environment
  to the MOOC learning model and vice versa
