Three objectives of the study, three research questions and three null hypotheses were used for the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised of the entire postgraduate diploma in Education (PGDE) students in University of Port Harcourt for 2018/2019 academic session which is seventy-four students (74) while the sample of the study was 74 students using census sampling technique. Mean scores, Standard deviation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were the statistical tools used in the study. It was found that PGDE students are aware of the MOOCs as an online learning tool for life-long learning. Furthermore, the study also revealed that PGDE students have positive attitude on the use of MOOCs as an online learning tool. In terms of constraints, respondents generally agreed that there is enough constraint on the use of MOOCs for life-long learning. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the use of MOOCs should be adopted as a learning platform for faculty of education students.
