Stunning! Technology has expanded the opportunities for

communication and collaboration in education. Traditionally,
classrooms were relatively isolated, and collaboration were confined
within the four corners of the physical room. This new set-up of
educational collaboration has made possible for teachers and students
to meet and learn new things together without being
physically present. Hence, the concept of Massive Open
 Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are a flexible and
open form of self- directed, online learning designed for
mass participation. Usually, it is offered for free and less
requirements and no formal academic credit.

Dave Cormier coined the term MOOC while christening a

course developed by Siemens and Downes at the
University of Manitoba. In the said course, more than
2,000 students enrolled (massive), and delivered using
various open and free to use educational resources
(open) such as wikis, online forums, Google Docs,
YouTube, and Facebook groups.

According to Gopta and Singh (2019) there are four

basic elements of MOOC:
Massive: MOOCs are designed for enrollment of
unlimited number of participants; and if number of
participants increases, no additional efforts are needed
to conduct the course.

Open: Courses under MOOCs are delivered free of cost,

and participants do not require any predefined and
specific enrolment qualifications.

Online: The course is delivered through online

resources via the Internet.

Course: A full course is offered including designing of

learning goals; availability of course content; and
assessment of learners through quizzes, formative
 Since its first introduction, Massive Open Online Course
(MOOC) has gained popularity. As a result, its influence
has been the subject of research and studies. Below are
some of the implications that experts have identified.

Alhazzani (2020) implicated MOOC for practice or

policy making. He suggests that …
 the finding of research stated MOOC’s is the best
solution for economically disadvantaged students who
cannot otherwise have access to a university.
 MOOC’s is providing a new way of a long-time
learning culture.
supplementing traditional courses through information
propagation to many participants at the same time
especially in the medical education.

They enumerated the role that MOOC contribute to

education:
For Continuing Medical Education
oOnline CMEs
oWebinars/Podcasts for structured courses
For Faculty Development
oFor fostering soft skills
oFor inculcating research skills
For Skill Enhancement
oDevelopment of psychomotor skills through online
 The Ontario’s Distance Education and Training Network in 2016
reported that MOOCs has influence teaching and learning.
According to them there are five ways in which MOOCs are
currently having an impact on teaching and learning:

Encouraging and enabling unbundling – the separationof

design, development, deployment, delivery, and support for
learning.
Changing the nature of credit granting and credentials.
Supporting and accelerating the development of blended
learning.
Supporting the development of learning portfolios.
