MOOC’s

By

MOOC’s stands for Massive online open courses. MOOC’s are based upon the phenomenon of compounded study with timing without any barrier. Basically in year 2008 when the industry oriented courses became in demand and standardization as well as accreditation of regular traditional courses became popular, the MOOC’s came in existence. Reason for opting the MOOC’s is to achieve the determined goal of study without any timeline as well as without limited resources. This also remove the restriction of age of study and type of study, simply means that anyone at any age at any time from any location can study and get certified as well in any discipline.
Students from typical rural area’s were not capable to pay and stay somewhere to learn from experienced faculty members, due to advancement of technology and systemic upgradation now it is feasible that they can study at their native places. One of the more realistic problem were there in education system that after a particular age people want to study some latest topics but due to hesitation they do not want to physically appear with the students of their child’s age. Now this boundary is vanished they just study in free time of their whatever their choice of course. The challenge of copping up with pace of trainer/teacher is also a challenge in any kind of study due to different mental strength of human mind. Now due to this MOOC the repeat leaning can be done and proper understanding can be established. Supposedly another challenge in education system is hesitation is asking the doubt but now the interaction is established through virtual mode inspite of physical one it is bit easy to ask any no. of doubt at any point of time.
Teaching and learning are sometimes supposed as one but they are not. Teaching is an abstract overview of someone established learning which may or may not be appropriately complete enough. While leaning is a continuous approach to fetch out the information relevant information and upgrade the knowledge related to the topic. Primarily the inbound teaching methodology  keep the students spoon feeded while now the students needs the learning approach to extract information from the scratch themselves.
Popular MOOC’s platform are Coursera, Udacity, edx, Udemy, Swayam and many more. Now another partnership based and collaborative ventures like Khan academy came into pictures. Many industries like Google, Yahoo, IBM and many universities of repute like Stanford, Berkley, Texas and Califormia are now part of this education segment.
