Modern education requirements tend to bring about new educational environments, in accordance with information and communication technologies. In this regard, massive open online courses (MOOCs) have come into prominence as part of the new generation of educational systems, due to its infrastructure and facilities. Currently, there are more than one million students taking courses on MOOC sites across a variety of disciplines. Therefore, this study analyzed 16 courses in media and communication science offered through MOOCs. The data was collected from January to August 2016 through 22 different MOOC platforms. The quality of the MOOCs was determined by using course surveys, based on David Merrill’s (2002) five first principles of instructional design (i.e., problems, activated, demonstrated, applied, integrated). The results showed that media education offered through MOOC platforms are better suited for high-quality learners. Since several courses in communication are provided through such platforms in Turkey, the findings of this study can contribute to the diversification and development of media education materials in the country.
