The 9th shift from the blueprint; globalised online learning is to transform the education system and uses information technologies to enhance the learning quality in Malaysia. This suits the Education 4.0 where 21st century skills are important to be applied in education. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) is one platform that has been introduced as a new approach in teaching and learning process. This quantitative study aims to look at students’ readiness in using MOOC in their teaching and learning process. To serve this purpose, a questionnaire was administered to 213 students at one polytechnic in the Southern Zone. Data were measured using Likert Scale of 1-5 and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Descriptive statistics using mean were reported to describe the students’ readiness. The findings show that the level of readiness for students to use MOOC is in the highest level with the overall mean of 4.0238.  Results express that students are ready to use MOOC in their teaching and learning.

The Malaysian Education Development Plan (PPPM) 2015-2025 (Higher Education) strongly emphasizes the use of information technology and the transformation of the delivery of teaching and learning processes (T & L). The plan places the ninth shift in the global online learning which is intended to transform the education system by leveraging information technology in improving the quality of learning in Malaysia. This is in line with Education 4.0 which highlights the 21st century skills that are so important to be applied in education. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a platform introduced as a new approach to the T & L process. Although MOOCs have been found to improve teaching and increase student engagement, many previous studies have shown that students’ readiness to use MOOCs is still at a moderate level. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the major barriers to the use of MOOCs at one polytechnic in the Southern Zone. This quantitative study was conducted by administering the questionnaire to 213 students for feedback. Data were collected using a 1 to 5 Likert scale and analyzed using Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS) by measuring the frequency and percentages. The alpha value of the questionnaire was, α = 0.887. The findings showed that internet/Wi-Fi coverage sources are a major obstacle to using MOOCs within the classroom even though students are committed and motivated towards using MOOCs.

Traditional Teaching Methods

AbstractThe conditions for higher education teachers operating in a technology-enhanced education setting and an open educational context – such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) – are different when compared to traditional teaching methods (e.g. in a lecture hall). This study investigates the grounds for 20 teachers at Swedish Higher education institutions to be involved in MOOC development projects. Six categories are found and described; including curiosity, merits, teaching development, flexibility, as well as the possibility to disseminate their research and expand their professional networks. Interviewees believed that the work was a viable way to strengthen their research portfolio, while also making a limited effort for teaching, enhancing the dissemination possibilities and strengthening their research networks.
