Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are online courses aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the Internet. MOOCs deliver course materials through videos, readings, and interactive problems. They provide flexibility in learning and raise the level of competition for traditional schools. While MOOCs can be affordable and accessible anywhere, anytime, they also see less campus attendance and issues with reliability. Pros include low costs and wide subject offerings, while cons include lack of interaction and difficulties for those without reliable Internet access. MOOCs were created at the University of Edinburgh and have impacted how courses are structured and delivered while being an alternative approach to pedagogy.

Mooc is essential because it is another way new way of approaching pedagogy.
Mooc is raising the level of competition too high for some schools to survive in
learning process.
• Online become so affordable that there is far less need to go to the campus to get
information,Meaning online course can occur everywhere anytime.
5. Pros & Cons of Mooc.

they would for a hands-on lecture or an
online course instructed by a faculty
member from the university
• Online courses it offers a more flexible
schedule or is less expensive.
• The courses offered are in a wide range of
subjects.
• Cons.
• Less attendance.
• Not effective to people who cannot
afford internet daily basis.
• Too much competition between
industries.
• Un-reliable information.
7. What I learnt in Mooc.
• I learnt about MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) thanks to a friend’s
post on Facebook about Coursera a year ago. I was intrigued and excited. I
signed up for several courses, then gave up. Today, after several attempts I
finished my first Coursera course — Online Games: Literature, New Media,
and Narrative .
• MOOC change the world, Well, it already did. I would never attend such
course if it weren’t for MOOC. While this is not probably world changing
situation, it may be for someone, somewhere.
8. Mooc usage in different
structure.
Mooc it’s an online course that is
used worldwide, used by
different people with different
purposes, the graph left it’s show
the percentage of usage in
different structures, Mooc is an
online that anyone can log/ have
access in it.
9. Field of interest
• One may question if MOOC equals studying in a class with live teacher. While some
experienced close contact with their instructor during their studies, some my classes
at technical university looked like very low-tech MOOC .
• lecture full of students, where the only (if any) personal interaction with the
professor would be during scoring of your final exam. I must admit, especially when
it came to Inorganic chemistry I didn’t particularly mind.
• On the other hand, some lectures were more a discussion with the teacher in small
classes. So my own answer is — it all depends what you are studying. I suspect my
course of choice would be probably more interactive live.
10. History of Mooc
• Mooc was emerged from(OER), Mooc was
created in university of Edward it was build for
the purpose of word where coloration of
information can be attained, learners and lectures
are engaged with this online courses
11. Topic pursue in future via Mooc
• Natural Science for grade 8 and 9 basically for intermediate because learners
are engaged with technology.
• Biology, (DNA,RNA and Human Evolution) this are topic need to be pursed
in future because there is evolution in technology.
