MOOC The Open Learning Course

MOOC stand for Massive Open Online Course. MOOC is one of the online applications mentioned in my Technology class. Hearing about the concept has really sparked my interest to explore further its benefits for learners.

Many universities in our country have already developed and offered some of the common subjects through MOOC. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) and several other public and private institutions of higher learning owns MOOC sites aimed at unlimited participant. The subjects can be accessed via the Internet. MOOC provides interactive user forums that help build a community of student, and teaching assistant. MOOC development for distant education began to emerge in Malaysia in 2012s.

I would like to select Putramooc as an example here. Putramooc offers many online coursees and some of them is offered at no cost at all. You may choose any course that attracts your interest. If I like to enhance my knowledge in Malaysia food I can join the Malaysia Food Heritage. The MOOC sites provide course modules, learning format, course instructor, lectures and a private forum whose members are fellow learners like you.

I believe MOOC approach is noble as it opens up opportunities for anyone without any boundaries. This opportunity/facilities will allow learners to study at any place at any time they find convenient. The courses are led by senior faculty members and guided by qualified instructors. The full use technologies make the course to be as interactive as possible and offers alternative to increase knowledge in modern and hectic world.

I have prior experience taking online course before that I'd like to share. I personally found MOOC approach to be very convenient. The only catch is you have to have high discipline and motivation to successfully complete the course. There's no pressure on you and it is easy to opt out for any reason. To my friends working in the early childhood education field, I would suggest them to take a free online course for Early Childhood Education offered by Open2Study.  Kindly click the open2study.com for more info and more free online course.
