ABSTRACT

Teaching–learning trend has changed over the course of time owing to the advancements in information and communication technology (ICT). Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is one of the most recent innovations in higher education. Massive refers to a large number of simultaneous learners and open means anyone can sign up and join the course online free of charge. It offers a lifelong learning opportunity to anyone. This opportunity is made possible by innovation, experimentation, and the use of the latest ICT. This chapter explores the opportunities and challenges for introducing MOOCs in higher education. This chapter also examines the awareness and usability of MOOCs among the students and professionals in Delhi, India. We employed an online method for the collection of data and data was analyzed using the latest software and tools. The findings suggest that ICT must be used more effectively in higher education. MOOCs will promote lifelong learning and motivate students’ self-development.
