Abstract

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have recently grown in prominence and acceptance among both academics and business professionals. Along with being accessible, these courses give students the chance to study a range of subjects from around the globe at a speed that can be adjusted to suit their individual needs. The open - source nature of MOOCs allows students to explore a variety of fields for little to no money, but it also enables educational institutions to reach a wider audience, improve their brand recognition, and introduce pedagogical innovations. At a global level, MOOCs have the potential to become a platform for attaining Sustainable Development Goal No. 4, which is to "Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for everyone." There is a lot of knowledge regarding the advantages of MOOCs for both students and teachers, but there have also been some difficulties, which if investigated could lead to improved teaching and aid students in meeting their learning goals. The benefits and difficulties that have surfaced as a result of primary qualitative research are discussed in relation to MOOCs as a learning channel. The data gathered are then subjected to a thematic analysis for the purposes of this study. In its last section, the article tends to offer some suggestions for improving learning outcomes for students through curriculum design, material customization, and alignment with their individual characteristics and goals.
