Accessible blended learning for non-native speakers using MOOCs

Abstract:

This paper proposes a design for enabling accessible blended learning experiences for non-native speakers (NNS) using massive open online courses (MOOCs). It describes some of the challenges that NNS experience when participating in a MOOC and identifies the requirements that ought to be met to accomplish accessibility for NNS. The requirements were elicited from WCAG 2.0 guidelines, ISO/IEC 24751:2008 recommendations, published results of related research, NNS that have participated in MOOCs in English, and authors' own experience as instructors and students of MOOCs. The design includes and architecture that involves three actors: NNS, local instructors, and MOOC authors; one non-virtual component (a local study group), and three platform components: a learning management system (LMS), a content management system (CMS), and an adaptive content engine (ACE).
