Although higher education institutions offer self-paced massive open online courses (MOOCs) on platforms like edX, little
systematic effort has been made to examine their instructional design features. Therefore, to review self-paced MOOCs on edX
and examine their instructional design features for those interested in designing and offering them is essential. Aiming at
offering reliable data, a significative amount of MOOCs that represent engineering, computer science, communications,
business and management should be randomly selected for analysis if a realistic view is sought. Moreover the instructional
design features of the MOOCs ought to be organized in terms of course structure and elements of course information, as well
as types of instructional videos, assessments, and online discussion boards, for by catering to those aspects, issues of current
instructional design features will be also involved.
