Funding Sources

Two organizations were involved in funding the project: The Commonwealth of Learning and the Technical Education Quality Improvement Program.

The Commonwealth of Learning provided funding of CDN $15,000. These funds were used to cover the costs of hosting the MoM course and for content development. A studio was rented and other support workers were employed to aid in the development of videos, which comprised the bulk of the course content.

TEQIP provided funding of USD $15,000. Part of these funds were directed to the design and development of the online platform that would deliver new MOOCs designed and delivered by IIT-K. The original arrangement was for the mooKIT platform to operate by running three MOOCs, one in July, followed by the MoM course and Architecture Software for the Cloud course (2014), both of which were offered in the fall.
