Bu çalışmanın amacı, MOOC sunma sürecinde öğretim üyeleri ve kurumun karşılaştığı güçlükler ve tavsiyelerinin incelenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda araştırmanın birinci boyutunda MOOC sunma sürecinde öğretim üyelerinin karşılaştıkları güçlükler incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın ikinci boyutunda ise kurum çalışanlarının perspektifinden hareketle kurumsal olarak karşılaşılan güçlükler incelenmiştir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden iç içe durum çalışma deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırma iki ayrı grupla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gruplar amaçlı örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın birinci çalışma grubunu Türkiye’nin ilk MOOC platformu olan AtademiX platformunun yönetilmesi ve yürütülmesinde görev alan kurum çalışanlardan 6 kişi, İkinci grubunu ise AtademiX platformu üzerinden ders veren 9 öğretim üyesi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma sürecinde alan yazın ve uzman görüşleri temel alınarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu hazırlanmıştır. Kurum çalışanları ve Öğretim üyelerine görüşme formu uygulanmıştır. Görüşmelerden alınan verileri analiz etmek için içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğretim üyeleri bireysel yönden, katılımcılar yönünden ve etkileşimden kaynaklanan güçlüklerle karşılaşmıştır. Benzer şekilde kurum çalışanları kurum içi ve öğretim üyelerinden kaynaklanan güçlüklerle karşılaşmıştır.
