Abstract：
Ramadan-focused diabetes education is critical to facilitate safer Ramadan fasting amongst Muslim people living with diabetes. We present the design, delivery, and evaluation of two parallel massive open online courses (MOOCs) in Ramadan-focused diabetes education for people with diabetes and HCPs.
Two Ramadan-focused diabetes education MOOCs were developed and delivered for Ramadan 2023: one for HCPs in English, and another for people with diabetes in English, Arabic and Malay. A user-centred iterative design process was adopted, informed by user feedback from a 2022 pilot MOOC. Evaluation comprised a mixed-methods evaluation of pre- and post-course user surveys.
The platform was utilised by people with diabetes and their family, friends and healthcare professionals. Overall, a total of 1531 users registered for the platform from 50 countries, 809 started a course with a 48% subsequent completion rate among course starters. Qualitative analysis showed users found the course a user-friendly and authoritative information source. In the HCP MOOC, users reported improved post-MOOC Ramadan awareness, associated diabetes knowledge and ability to assess and advise patients in relation to their diabetes during Ramadan (p<0.01).
We demonstrate the potential of MOOCs to deliver culturally tailored, high-quality, scalable, multilingual Ramadan-focused diabetes education to HCPs and people with diabetes.

摘要：
目标：以斋月为重点的糖尿病教育对于促进穆斯林糖尿病患者更安全的斋月禁食至关重要。我们提出的设计，delivery,以及针对糖尿病患者和HCP的斋月重点糖尿病教育中两个平行的大规模在线开放课程（MOOC）的评估。
方法：为2023年斋月开发并交付了两个以斋月为重点的糖尿病教育MOOC：一个用于英语的HCP，另一个是英语中的糖尿病患者，阿拉伯语和马来语。采用了以用户为中心的迭代设计过程，由2022年试点MOOC的用户反馈通知。评估包括对课程前和课程后用户调查的混合方法评估。
结果：糖尿病患者及其家人使用了该平台，朋友和医疗保健专业人士。总的来说,该平台共有来自50个国家的1531个用户注册，809开始了一门课程，课程开始者的后续完成率为48％。定性分析显示，用户发现该课程是用户友好且权威的信息来源。在HCPMOOC中，用户报告说，MOOC后斋月意识有所提高，相关的糖尿病知识和能力，以评估和建议患者与他们的糖尿病在斋月期间（P<0.01）。
结论：我们展示了MOOC提供文化定制的潜力，高品质，可扩展，针对HCPs和糖尿病患者的多语种斋月重点糖尿病教育。
