(from the &#8220;Course Design on a Shoestring&#8221; YouTube Channel) covers things you might ask learners &#8220;to do&#8221; in a course rather than just providing them with&nbsp;learning materials.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Time needed:<\/b> 6:28 mins\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Tip:&nbsp;<\/b><br \/>\nThis video addresses online courses in general, where tutors may have been allocated significant time to work with learners. &nbsp;However, in MOOCs, such a level of tutor support is not possible, so as you watch this video, think about how these ideas are applicable in MOOCs, or achievable in an environment where learners must rely more on their peers for support than their tutors.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel iDevice\">\n\t<div class=\"panel-heading idevice-heading\">\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pedagogicalicon\" alt=\"discussion\" src=\"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/moocs4all\/wp-content\/themes\/oeru_course\/idevices\/Icon_discussion.png\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<h2>Discussion<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><b>If you wish to share your thoughts, you may participate in a discussion on our Linkedin group called &#8216;Learning activities for MOOCs&#8217;
