The development of courses in MOOCs is the goal of this research for scientific writing methods courses. This development is based on the need for technical and practicality in writing research results by students undertaking final microlearning assignments. Development was carried out by referring to the Dick and Carey model, which refers to the development of instructional design. The instructional design developed is in the form of course content and activities designed for the MOOC. As a result, creating a scientific writing methods course can be achieved with decent results from expert validation and user testing. This course consists of eight meetings with various content and learning activities referring to the microlearning basis used, with the participant's output being the publication of a research paper.
