- Abstract
- Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) have received increasing attention in recent years for their potential to engage oncampus students in active learning while conveying knowledge to a broad international public. In this article, we describe the creation of a MOOC as a mandatory integrated supplement to a respiratory physiology and pathophysiology university course taught to undergraduate medical students. We discuss how this MOOC integrates several didactical tools such as flipped classroom activities, peer-review evaluations, active learning principles or multidisciplinary fundamental-clinical approaches. The impact and satisfaction analysis on 8,400 participants, including seven percent of medical students, suggests that a specific scientific subject from an undergraduate medical curriculum could stimulate the motivation of both on-campus and international students. This MOOC experience renews the view on medical education and deserves further development
