Editor's Notes
Carpe Diem is a learning design methodology, based on 6 stages and normally run as a collaborative design workshop over 1.5 days . It’s been researched and developed over 14 years, originally by Professor Gilly Salmon but since in universities across the world including at Swinburne University of Technology. If you’d like to know more about the Carpe diem please look at the web site. Because Carpe Diem is so intrinsic to our work in the Learning Transformations Unit at Swinburne, we felt is was a most suitable topic to disseminate further through a MOOC.
The Carpe Diem process comprises six stages: Write a blueprint; Make a storyboard; Build a prototype online; Check reality; Review and adjust; and Planning your next steps (Salmon and Wright 2014).

The CD MOOC was designed to encourage online participation, collaboration, information sharing, knowledge creation and application by participants. A key focus of CD MOOC was to encourage participants to complete online activities and tasks. Participants were awarded digital badges upon completion of certain tasks.
In total 1426 people registered for the CD MOOC and 1029 commenced in March 2014. Out of total number, 67% were female, the rest were male.
