ABSTRACT

Massively open online course (MOOCs) provide online learning to students and are offered by different universities. This chapter identifies the challenges and benefits that students experienced after undergoing through online courses.

The findings were then refined as a result of the researcher experiences with online courses. Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds provides motivational energy through free credits and at a high level which is able to satisfy Indian university students.
