Are MOOCs Advancing as Predicted by IEEE CS 2022 Report?

Abstract

Few trends in education in the last century match the sudden onset of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The modern MOOC movement started in late 2011, when the first standard MOOC was launched. In few years, MOOCs have received immense coverage in media, academia and industry. MOOCs have established one of the key facts that education is no longer a privilege but a basic right. Students can learn any imaginable subject from the world's top professors and industry experts. Massive online courses have also increased interest in online learning. Current online learning is a classic disruptive innovation as it is economical and of high quality. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the state of the art in MOOCs since the IEEE CS Report 2022 was made public.
