We explore new tools and methods for learning designers and researchers to characterize pedagogical approaches that are applied to the design of MOOCs. This paper makes three main contributions to literature on MOOC design and evaluation: (1) an Expanded Assessing MOOC Pedagogies instrument for use by learning designers and researchers within their own contexts, (2) a demonstration of how nearest neighbor cluster analysis can be used to identify pedagogically similar MOOCs, and (3) a preliminary analysis of the clusters to account for features and factors that contribute to pedagogical similarity of MOOCs within clusters. This work advances research in the development of MOOC typologies, to allow learning designers and researchers to ask nuanced questions about pedagogical aspects of MOOC design.

表征MOOC教学法：探索学习设计师和研究人员的工具和方法

我们探索用于学习设计人员和研究人员的新工具和方法，以表征应用于MOOC设计的教学方法。本文对有关MOOC设计和评估的文献做出了三点主要贡献：（1）一种扩展的评估MOOC教学法工具，供学习设计者和研究人员在自己的背景下使用，（2）演示如何使用最近邻聚类分析来确定教学上相似的MOOC，以及（3）对聚类进行初步分析，以考虑有助于聚类内MOOC的教学相似性的特征和因素。这项工作推动了MOOC类型学发展的研究，使学习设计人员和研究人员可以就MOOC设计的教学方面提出细微的问题。
