Massive Open Online Courses Enhancement to edX-platform

Introduction to MOOC

● MOOC-massive open online courses.● an online education system.● aims at a large-scale interactive participation

of users with the help of web.● various features like videos, study materials,

quizzes and online exams and trying to make it more efficient than traditional education system.

Advantages of MOOC

● Learner can use any online tool that are relevant.

● People have no access to former higher education can participate.

● Informal and can be organized easily.● Learning will be possible by the collaboration

of learners and instructors

Advantages of MOOC(contd.)

● Supports career opportunities.● Informal and can be organized easily.● 9. peer grading supported.● Enrollment is open to anybody in the World,

no fee, no credentials needed.● etc

Challenges of MOOC

● Accreditation● Self regulation and motivation● High dropout rate● Standards and grading● Automated grading● Peer grading? Teaching assistant grading?● etc.

Few Existing MOOCs

● Eliademy● Coursera● Udacity● OpenupEd● edX● etc
