Résumé
Observational. To determine the learners' experience and the impact of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) conducted to teach physiotherapists about the management of people with spinal cord injuries (SCI). A SCI MOOC for physiotherapists was run in 5 different languages at the end of 2022. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from different sources including registration details, pre- and post-MOOC Knowledge Assessments, a post-MOOC Evaluation, social media posts and online tracking of websites and emails. The data were used to answer four key questions: (i) what was the reach of the MOOC, (ii) what did participants think about the MOOC (iii) did the MOOC change participants' knowledge and/or confidence, and (iv) did the MOOC change participants' clinical practice or the way they teach others? 25,737 people from 169 countries registered for the MOOC. 98% of participants who completed the Evaluation (n = 2281) rated the MOOC as either "good" or "very good". Participants' knowledge improved by a median (IQR) of 25% (10 to 45%) (n = 4016 participants) on the MOOC Knowledge Assessment. Participants reported changes in confidence, and intentions to change clinical practice and incorporate what they had learnt into the way they teach others in response to the MOOC. The MOOC provided an efficient way to increase physiotherapists' knowledge about the physiotherapy management of people with SCI. Participants enjoyed the MOOC, and indicated an intention to change clinical practice and the way they taught others.
