  • 1. THIS WORK IS ALL ABOUT THE ONLINE LEARNING.

2. WHAT IS MOOC STAND FOR ? M = MASSIVE O = OPEN O = ONLINE C = COURSE 3. DEFINITION OF MOOC. Is the course of study made available over the internet, even if you are at home you can learn through mooc. 4. THE FIRST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO UTILIZE DISTANCE LEARNING WAS ISAAC PITMAN AND THE FIRST UNIVERSITY TO USE MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE COURSES IS THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, BACK THERE, THE WAS NO COMPUTERS. 5. ADVANTAGES OF MOOC. OFFER CONVENIENT. no excuses of missing a class because everything is available to you, you can get announcements, access notes, review assignments at anytime than waiting for the lecture. BRING SCHOOLING RIGHT TO YOUR HOME. 6. Online courses gives a student a chance to get support from other people at home, community that lead a student to succeed. OFFER A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY TO THE STUDENT. While the student is learning online he/she is responsible to take care of his/her work by reading the instruction care because the is no other student like fellow class mates that will offer some help like attending classes and come to explain to him what was happening in the classroom. 7. GIVES YOU A BETTER CHANCES AS A STUDENT IF YOU ARE APPLYING A POSITION. BECAUSE YOU USE TO DO SCHOOL WORK BY USING COMPUTER BECAUSE AS WE KNOW THAT IN NOWADAYS EVERYTHING IS ALL ABOUT THE COMPUTER. GIVES YOU MORE SKILLS SUCH AS TYPING , AND ANY SKILLS RELEVANT TO COMPUTER. IT IS EASY TO YOU AS A ONLINE COURSE STUDENT TO BE PERFECT IN TYPING WORDS , BECAUSE ALWAYS WHEN YOU ARE LEARNING YOU ARE USING A COMPUTER. 8. ONLINE COURSES MAKE IT EASIER TO PROCRASTINATE. There is no one to tell you to get to the class on time and also no one to preach to you, that makes easy to you to procrastinate by saying I will do this tomorrow may be let me watch TV for a while, that thing affect your school work so bad. ONLINE COURSES REQUIRE GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS. 9. ITS REQUIRES THE SELF DISCIPLINE BY SETTING TIME EFFECTIVE IN YOUR STUDIES. IT MEANS YOU MAKE ONLINE STUDYING MORE ESSENTIAL AND NOT LET OTHER ACTIVITIES INTERFERE 10. ONLINE COURSES MAY CREATE A SENSE OF ISOLATION. STUDYING ONLINE IN THE ROOM WITH ONLY THE COMPUTER CAN BE TERRIFYING BECAUSE OF THE LONELINESS. ONLINE COURSES GIVES YOU MORE FREEDOM, MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE IF YOU ARE THE LAZY STUDENT. BY GIVING YOU TIME TO TAKE BREAK AT ANYTIME YOU WANT BECAUSE THE IS NO INSTRUCTOR NEXT TO YOU, THAT THING CAN CAUSE FORGETTING TO DO THE SCHOOL WORK. 11. ACCORDING TO ME AS A NOVICE TEACHER I THINK MOOC CAN BE USED ALSO AS A SYSTEM OF ENHANCING COMPUTER SKILLS OF PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY AND ALSO I THINK MOOC SHOULD BE APPLYIED IN SCHOOLS TO THE GRADE 8-12 SO THAT LEARNERS CAN BE INCULCATED AT THE EARLY STAGE ABOUT THE MOOC, SO THAT IF LEARNERS FURTHER THEIR STUDIES, FIND EASY THAN THE PERSON WHO ENTER IN THE ONLINE COURSES AT THE LATER STAGE. 12. ACCORDING TO MY PERSPECTIVE AS A NOVICE TEACHER WHO IS GOING TO USE TECHNOLOGY IN HIS TEACHING I RECOMMEND MOOC COURSES BECAUSE DONT NEED PHYSICAL ATTENDENCE SUCH AS A WAIST OF TRANSPORT MONEY BUT THE STUDENT CAN LEARN AT HIS OR HER FACTHERS PLACE IN BED, KITCHEN AND ANY PLACE THAT IS CONDUCIVE FOR STUDYING
