Abstract

Recent years many universities are involved in development of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Unfortunately an appropriate didactic model for cooperated network learning is lacking. In this paper we introduce inquiry based learning as didactic model. Students are assumed to ask themselves questions interacting with a learning text. The model has been tested for students of DUT taking a MOOC in mathematics. The didactic model and test results are presented.
