    One day prior to the 2015 European Computer Sciences Summit (ECSS), on
Monday, October 12, 2015, a special Pre-Summit Workshop will take place
gathering practitioners interested in experiences and best practices in
MOOCs and MOOC-related contexts.

Chaired by /UWE EGLY /and/ HILDA TELLIOGLU, FACULTY OF INFORMATICS, TU
WIEN/, this pre-summit workshop includes experiences from authors who have
been running MOOCs, have supported the production of MOOCs, have been
involved in the selection of MOOCs or have analysed data for their
university. It also includes using MOOC-related technology in other
contexts, in particular, for on-campus education.

The workshop aims to share experiences, results and solutions, and to
document problems.

Topics of interest include:

   *    MOOC production: costs, processes, pitfalls
   *    MOOC selection: criteria for selection, how to motivate teachers,
feedback from students
   *    MOOC introduction: strategies, phases, evaluation
   *    MOOC data: drop-out rates, student demographics, popular activities,
etc.
   *    Integration with existing e-learning initiatives and learning
management systems
   *    Failures and successes in flipped classrooms
   *    Pedagogical support to teachers

trends related to research, education, management, career development and
policy in Informatics. With some of the world's most distinguished
academics, industry leaders and policy makers on stage, the summit never
fails to inspire and stimulate. This year's ECSS will be held in Vienna,
Austria, October 12-14, hosted by the Faculty of Informatics of Vienna
University of Technology. It is centred on the theme "Informatics in the
Future - in the Year 2025".
