GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) – fantastically named piece of freeware that works on most operating systems for photo retouching, image composition and authoring. Survey Monkey has been around for a while but still a great tool for gathering user feedback and can also be used to pre-assess knowledge gaps.

Generally speaking, a cobbled up MOOC using freeware is not going to ‘cut it’ because it wastes student time and looks unloved. As a colleague recently pointed out to me, 20 hours of the same teacher delivering content via video is boring. Simplicity is about ease of use. The MOOC needs to be intuitive to access, navigate and ‘do’ things in.
