About Open Online Courses[edit | edit source]
Open online courses are courses running purely in an online environment that have been opened up for anyone to participate in. These online courses are referred to as "open" because:
- the course takes place in an area that is open for anyone to read, reflect and comment upon,
- they are free,
- the content and work done in the course is shared between all people taking the course.
These courses are often referred to as MOOCs - massive open online courses - as they can generate huge participation.

Run an Open Online Course in Physiopedia[edit | edit source]
We now have a very workable model for running more open online courses in Physiopedia in collaboration with educational establishments and professional networks. The collaboration basically runs like this:
- Physiopedia provides all the administration for the course including e-learning development, hosting, promotion, registrations, accreditation, certification etc.
- The partner (university, professional association, clinical network) provides the content and the instructors.
If you would like to run a MOOC please contact us by email: [email protected] We will discuss your ideas with you and collaborate with you to present one of the worlds very first physiotherapy or physical therapy MOOCs.
