Abstract

The aim of
The aim of the current research is to define the main areas that make up the list of criteria for electronic courses. Open and widespread MOOCs, and after setting the list of criteria, I recorded a high relative weight from (2.94) to (2.05) at a level of important importance; Likewise, for the degree of correlation, I recorded a high relative weight from (2.94) to (2.21) at a related level, and after completing the modifications referred to by the arbitrators, the criteria included: general information about the course (6), educational design of the content (9), design Learning activities and participatory tasks (6), and efficient multimedia design for educational material (22); And the quality of link design within the course (8), support for learner control of the electronic course (9), modeling (6), support for interactivity and sharing in building content (11), assessing learners ’performance on activities and duties (11), documentation and reference (4) standard Thus, the list of design criteria in its final form has consisted of (10) criteria, (89) indications, and the list can be presented in its final form, and in light of those results a number of recommendations and proposals have been presented.
