Outcomes and Next Steps The process of designing, developing, and implementing Tri-C’s MOOC was a definite success with a number of learning opportunities for best practices. The collaborative and iterative design and development process, partnering a team of faculty with instructional designers, worked extremely well to deliver the MOOC in a short time frame. Figure 3 provides an overview of the total number of students engaged at each level. The total success and completion rate equaled 18.4%, �� which is nearly double the �� national average. The re- �� sults indicate that the incorporation of low-tech game m e c h a n i c s in the course through the use of adaptive release may �� approached Massachusetts Bay Community College �� (MassBay) in �� August 2012 �� and proposed �� that Mass- �� Bay offer the �� MITx MOOC �� course, 6.00x �� Introduction �� to Computer �� Science and �� Programming �� to MassBay students in a blended (hy- brid) format (“edX Intro Python,” 2013). The community college instructor would use (in whole or part) the MITX 6.00x MOOC course content (syllabus, course materials, video lectures, problem sets, exams, etc.) in a pilot course in spring semester 2013. Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) was invited in September 2012 to participate in the project. MassBay, located in Wellesley Hills, and BHCC, located in Boston, are both have been one of the reasons for success. The low-risk, low-failure learning created by the game-based learning strategies proved successful for this MOOC for a developmental education audience and may prove beneficial for all MOOCs.
