Introduction
If you have a personal development plan (PDP) as part of your continuing professional development (CPD) could a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) help? The aim of this learning activity is to look at what MOOCs are and whether there are any that could fulfil your learning needs as a medical illustrator. Just as reminder do look at previous editions of the journal that include guided learning activities to support your professional development including developing your PDP (Bryson 2011) and choosing a mix of learning activities (Bryson 2010).
