Synopsis :

The study examined a new model called TMOC: Training to Management of Online Courses. The model is designed to train lecturers in higher-education to successfully create, deliver and develop online courses. The research was based on a sample of lecturers, who studied in a course based on the new model at the Mofet Institute in Tel-Aviv (n=20). The course included all components and characteristics of TMOC and learners were asked to answer a questionnaire focused on the following two basic constituents:

1. Required contents that should be studied in order to become a successful manager of online courses in highereducation.

2. Effective ways needed in order to achieve that mission.
