 5. Deploy
In this phase, we deploy the whole course as per the platform
requirements.

Technical issues are checked

Requisite testing is done
and sorted out

Beta run of the course for

Helpdesk should be in place
checking

Collection of formal evaluation Critical Analysis and feedback

of different parameters for course improvement
 Main Takeaways
All the tasks of the MOOC development needs to be done
in a sequence.

Overall quality evaluation at every step and for every process

is
key to the success.

After deployment you can return to the start of the loop at

least once, for discovering and analyzing the qualitative
and quantitative data for your course .

Analysis will help you to define and design the

improvements before the course is deployed again.
