ABSTRACT

Massively open online course (MOOC)-based learning promotes learning among students. However, providing real-time discussions with peers and faculty, credits, individual evaluations, challenging questions and assignments will further enhance learning. Study Webs of Active–Learning for Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM) can motivate students through free credits and a high quality of courses. SWAYAM can provide flexibility in various processes, for example, course enrollment, learning, evaluation and outcome of degree courses. The proposed system not only gives students the freedom to choose courses to fit with their schedules but also to use earned credit towards online degrees at any university. MOOC-based learning needs to be evaluated by examining students from different backgrounds at various levels of their education. The employability of students who have taken an online degree as well as the overall effect of online learning on the Indian economy needs to be analyzed.
