New-age learning of an everlasting skill: Insights from development 'Negotiation Management' MOOC

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), have grown at a rapid pace since their first appearance in 2008, occupy a significant place as an open educational resource, and provide insights into the development process as well as offer an innovative educational experience. This reflective article examines insights gathered during the development of my Negotiation Management MOOC, The article reviews the development process of the course which is built as a series of situations that simulate real-life moments, based on the principle of sitcoms and the Edutainment (Educational entertainment) approach. The video clips combine the simulations with the lecturer's analysis, using theories, models, and concepts from their course and training. The developmental stages raised pedagogical and professional questions around content and training, relating to the Simulations Design, the video clips and Interactive learning. Our purpose is to provide important insights for lecturers interested in developing or teaching Negotiation Management MOOCs.
