Massive Open Online Content and its Implications

Massive Open Online Content (MOOC) is defined by Educause as a model for delivering learning
content online to any person who wants to take a course, with no limit on attendance. It can be
characterized by the following:
a) A revolutionary approach to education that veers away from the physical to the virtual.
b) A kind of learning that happens online, breaking the norm of traditional schools or universities for
higher education.
c) Utilizes information technologies like analytics to help instructors gauge their student’s learning.
d) Emphasis on connectedness.

The Implications
1. By taking learning into virtual space, attendance is no longer a determining factor in one’s education.
This makes MOOC learning a popular alternative for those whose life situations make them unable to
attend regular schools.
2. Managing MOOC is relatively cheaper than running educational institutions. By taking out the
experiences of Universities – which are passed down to students in exorbitant fees- MOOC addresses
the high cost of education.
3. Analytic provides information about the learning process of students. Through the use of data
collected through analytic, MOOC provides a means to improve learning.
4. Since it focuses on connectedness as part of the learning process, MOOC allows education to take
place on a global scale. Connecting learners and instructors all over the world to one another to
maximize education.
