INTEGRATION OF MOOC PRINCIPLES INTO A LANGUAGE COURSE FRAMEWORK FOR NATO DEEP: A CASE STUDY

Abstract

The presented framework is fluid in terms of design; it can be applied to both: suit needs of a different target group and subject. However, this paper focuses solely on language learning and should be applied to provide training only in this dimension. The e-learning platform used in this project is LMS ILIAS; however, it would be possible to apply another system of this class (learning management system). Nonetheless, it is advisable to use LMS ILIAS, as it suits this project’s needs and is compliant with the NATO DEEP Portal project. Ideally, the people involved in this project should know the specifics of working with military personnel of various countries. Additionally, all the role-holders are required to have experience with e-learning project design based on the ADDIE model of instructional design. The author recommends launching the project with a pilot phase first, so the initial assumptions would be properly revised.
