<p>I have been teaching LIS for past 19 years and observed that MOOCs offers varied opportunities to reinvent and innovate new techniques of learning. It gives the developer the flexibility to design and develop the courses accordingly with the changing job market requirements; the traditional universities do not offer such opportunity. I think it is a good option if one pursues a regular course and take a few elective subjects through MOOCs. Traditional Universities do not offer many elective subjects. Moreover, the need of an hour is to study these elective at micro level meaning understanding a particular area with respect to practical applications. Most importantly, a MOOC developer can integrate faculty from diverse background and location to teach the MOOC. This would help the students to gain holistic knowledge of the subject.</p>

<p>It's true. I think It is too early to discuss or comment about the success / failure of MOOCs.</p>
<p><br/>In India the NPTEL / SWAYAM MOOC courses are taken up by many students / faculty members every year. </p>

<p>As a young learner of the library and information science domain, I can say that MOOCs has offering huge exposure for the learners of the higher studies to get enroll in different courses which are running by the prestigious institutions of our country as well as in the world. MOOCs has revamped the structure of the higher studies from the learner's point of view.

<p>As a young learner of the library and information science domain, I can say that MOOCs has offering huge exposure for the learners of the higher studies to get enroll in different courses which are running by the prestigious institutions of our country as well as in the world. MOOCs has revamped the structure of the higher studies from the learner's point of view. Of course, it is not the exact substitute of the traditional higher education system, but still it acts like a kind of bridging the gap between the traditional higher education system and the learners who wished to get enroll and complete the higher studies but not able to do due to different causes. With reference to Siddhartha Sankar Ray Sir's comment, MOOCs is surely a community learning on national and international level. So, we can say :</p>

<p>Dear Sri Munesh Kumar,</p>
<p>Thanks for your post and addressing an important issue in today's perspective.</p>
<p>As I personally feel, Online Courses are OK for some degrees of "nodding knowledge" . However, if one wants to pursue further studies, online courses have certain shortfalls. Of course, the tenacity of the learners vastly influence the positivity of such courses though the courses themselves have no fault except just one fact that it has limitations to SUSTAIN the attraction!!</p>
<p>For Community learning, MOOC is certainly an unique and innovative venture in the sense that it enhance AWARENESS to a considerable extent but in pedagogical sense, it may not be that rich in content. We often get confused to define where the thin line between Education & Awareness exist as we some time define them as sort of synonymous (A person well aware of & having some sort of holistic knowledge about his/her surroundings and daily chores is called an <em>Educated Person</em> at times but when we go deeper and discover that the individual lacks traditional <em>Class-room based Education and Degrees</em> we hesitate to call him/her as an <em>Educated Person</em>!)</p>
<p>In fact at times, we be at a loss to distinguish between a <em><strong>Learned Person</strong></em> and an <em><strong>Educated Person</strong></em> etymologically and we often add certain <em>Qualifiers</em> (like "Self-learned"!) to sustain the supremacy of academic discourses.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I hope I could explain the dilemma.</p>
