MOOC
The Massive Open Online Course
(MOOC) is defined as a model for
delivering learning content online to
any person who wants to take a
course, with no limit on attendance.
5
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)
An online course that offers open access via the
Internet for free or at a low cost.
Amanda Rollins, 2018 emphasized that the
technical pillar of MOOCs is related to distance
learning where ideological principal talks about
“Education for All”.
The term Massive Open Online Course was used for
the first time by George Siemens” Connectivism
and Connective knowledge”(CCKO8)course.
Characteristics:
1. A revolutionary approach to
education that moves away from the
physical to the virtual

7
Characteristics:
2. A kind of learning that happens
online, breaking the norm of
traditional schools or universities for
higher education.

8
Characteristics:
3. Utilizes information technologies
like analytics to help instructors
gauge their student’s learning.

9
Characteristic:
4. Emphasis on connectedness.

10
Advantages and Implications
1. Attendance is no longer a determining factor in
one’s education.
2. Managing MOOC is relatively cheaper
3. MOOC provides a means to improve learning.
4. MOOC allows education to take place on a global
scale, connecting learners and instructors all over the
world to one another to maximize education.

Current and Future
Technologies
Wearable technology
Smart watches
Virtual Reality (VR)
The Concept of 3D Environment
The Paperless society
Ubiquitous learning
Haptics technology
Is a feedback technology (using computer
applications) that takes advantage of the user’s sense
of touch by applying force, vibrations and/or motions
to the User.

20
Contextual awareness
By combining ‘hard sensor’ information such as where
you are and the conditions around you, combined with
‘soft sensors’ such as your calendar, your social
network and past preferences - future devices will
constantly learn about who you are and how you live,
work and play.

21
Voice and tone recognition
Not only can voice and tone recognition be used to
confirm a person’s identity but tone recognition can be
used to detect a person’s health or emotional state.

22
Intelligent routing to devices
This future technology will be
useful to, for example, local
councils. While on the move,
staff will be able to provide the
precise description and location
of a streetbased issue using
Smartphones and mobile devices
that can take photos and have
GPS (global positioning system)
support. Intelligent routing will
then alert the responsible team
to action. 23
Eye tracking technology
Eye tracking technology measures eye
positions and movements which are
analyzed through computer
applications. Future laptops,
smartphones and tablets could contain
thousands of tiny imaging sensors built
into the display screen. Eye tracking
technology could have many possible
applications, including:
Law enforcement , Airport security ,
Retail, Safety, Health care, Human-
computer interaction
24
Internet glasses
Technology that can display images
directly onto our retinas while not
blocking our sight is being developed.
This technology can be used in
eyeglasses and have uses ranging from
e-Gaming to military defense

25
Wearable Technology
Wearable technologies today are smart
watches. These watches are worn as a
typical wristwatch but do more than
just tell time. Modern smart watches
perform the same functions as
smartphones. "Google Glass" by
jurvetson is licensed under CC BY 2.0 9
Smart watches as a wearable are
developed for convenience, but its
inability to function as an independent
gadget puts it at a distinct
disadvantage.
