RECONSIDERING MOOC in the futureRECONSIDERING MOOC in the future

7. 1. The need of quality assurance of MOOCs- a sound quality
framework should be integrated into course offering
2. MOOCs should be address development of skills needed by the
industry and requirement of lifelong learners
3. Possible revenue streams should be identified to sustain
MOOCs offering. Cost associate with MOOCs offering like:
technical team, teacher/markers fees for assesment,
certification .. should be considered.
4. The development of MOOCs begins to focus on market
segmentation for serving more focused groups of users
5. Creating user friendly platform and collaborate with other
institution
