We report our experiences from the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), “eHealth – Opportunities and Challenges”, run by Karolinska Institutet using the edx platform both as session-based and self-paced versions between 2015 and 2016. In total, 13,302 students from 162 different countries were enrolled in our courses during the two-year period whereof 573 completed them. 331 students answered an exit survey after finishing the course which was analysed using quantitative and qualitative methods. As positive outcomes of the course, students highlighted set-up and content of the course, the pedagogical approach and the consistent international focus. Students lacked more practical case studies, more interactive discussions and proposed advanced follow-up courses on certain topics. Faculty lacked better functions for management of the discussion forum. Major advantages of the MOOC were mutual learning and exchange of health informatics experiences from around the world that would have been difficult to achieve in traditional learning contexts.
