# From Seminar to Lecture to MOOC


This summer, I successfully defended my PhD thesis ["From Seminar to Lecture to MOOC: Scripting and Orchestration at Scale"](https://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/224081/files/From%20seminar%20to%20lecture%20to%20MOOC%20-%20Ha%CC%8Aklev%202016.pdf) at Ontario Institute Studies in Education, University of Toronto. 

I have always been interested in different ways of publishing and sharing my research. With my [BA thesis on community libraries in Indonesia](http://reganmian.net/blog/2008/09/20/mencerdaskan-bangsa-an-inquiry-into-the-phenomenon-of-taman-bacaan-in-indonesia/), I had it translated to Indonesian, and also made it into an ebook.

I have an [extensive page documenting my experiments](http://reganmian.net/blog/the-chinese-national-top-level-courses-project/) with my MA thesis on Chinese Open Educational Courses. I made the thesis available in a number of formats, serialized it on my blog, had it translated into Chinese, and also published all of my raw notes (open notebook).

For my PhD thesis, I had big ambitions about having the finished thesis be a live document linking to my notes on all the papers cited (using my [Researchr system](http://reganmian.net/wiki/researchr:start)), but although I wrote my initial drafts in Markdown (with Scrivener), they ended up in Word for collaborative editing and track changes.

I then wanted to create a fancy landing page, with links to resources from the thesis, multiple formats, talks, etc. But after landing in Lausanne, where I am doing a post-doc at EPFL, I never got around to it. Now it has been half a year since I defended my thesis, it is still not public at T-Space, the institutional repository in Toronto, and I decided it's time to set it loose.

I still hope to come back to add more information, formats, details etc. But for now, here are some essential links:
