The Implications
1. By taking learning into virtual space, attendance is no longer a determining factor in
one’s education. This makes MOOC learning a popular alternative for those whose life
situations make them unable to attend regular schools.
2. Managing MOOC is relatively cheaper than running educational institutions. By taking
out the experiences of universities – which are passed down to students in exorbitant
fees – MOOC addresses the high cost of education.
3. Analytic provides information about the learning process of students. Through the use of
data collected through analytic, MOOC provides a means to improve learning.
4. Since it focuses on connectedness as part of the learning process, MOOC allows
education to take place on global scale. Connecting learners and instructors all over the
world to one another to maximize education.
