Abstract
Instructors are the most important component for the development of a Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) because of many MOOCs have been developed by instructors and offered free of charge. In this study we examine the benefits of sharing and course design actions during the enforcement of a MOOC. In this study a qualitative research design, case study, was used. Interviews were made with 12 instructors who have offered MOOC on AtademiX in Turkey to understand their gains while developing and teaching MOOCs. The data obtained through semi-structured interviews were subjected to content analysis and the gains of instructos were revealed in an inductive manner. According to the results of the research, instructors have made professional development and achieved new academic outcomes such as tendency of material sharing, satisfaction, recognition, self-confidence, and effectiveness in face-to-face lessons. As a result, it can be said that MOOC contributes professionally and academically to instructors.
期刊介绍：
E-Learning and Digital Media is a peer-reviewed international journal directed towards the study and research of e-learning in its diverse aspects: pedagogical, curricular, sociological, economic, philosophical and political. This journal explores the ways that different disciplines and alternative approaches can shed light on the study of technically mediated education. Working at the intersection of theoretical psychology, sociology, history, politics and philosophy it poses new questions and offers new answers for research and practice related to digital technologies in education. The change of the title of the journal in 2010 from E-Learning to E-Learning and Digital Media is expressive of this new and emphatically interdisciplinary orientation, and also reflects the fact that technologically-mediated education needs to be located within the political economy and informational ecology of changing mediatic forms.
