This study was conducted to design and validate Mooc model-based distance education for students and validation in terms of experts. The research method was descriptive-analytic with approach of systematic review of research literature and descriptive-survey method was used to validate the model. In order to design educational model, the statistical society of this research includes all books, research and review papers, theses and internet information resources related to technology, especially Mooc technology and students distance education (from 2000 to 2017) and in order to validate model, statistical society includes specialists in educational technology and distance education. The sample consisted of 10 books and 20 articles associated with distance education, 5 books and 20 articles about mooc technology, which were selected for targeted analysis and to validate model, 30 specialists in educational technology and distance education participated as sample. Tools for data collection were taking note and a self-designed questionnaire with 7 questions in Likert scale. The results of this study led to formulation of a prescribed pattern. The pattern forming process includes eight steps: preparation, analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation and optimization of learning. These models were developed with an integrated approach and were used the strengths of different patterns of distance education environments and Mooc. Also, the results showed that the specialist's opinion was significantly higher than the average at every 7 questions about evaluation (P <0.01). It can be concluded that specialists largely evaluated the internal validation of pattern designed in distance education. Using Mooc model-based distance education was effective to increase academic engagement and academic performance of students who were trained under this program (P <0.01). As a result, this model can be used to teach students of PNU through Mooc technology.
