Exploring the Challenges & Benefits of MOOCs as an Innovative Pedagogical Model in Higher Education

Résumé

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been adopted to meet learners' needs in higher education, serving as an innovative pedagogical model with three main dimensions: the provider (what is offered), the learners (who), and the process (how). Ideally, they take students through the developmental stage of problem-solving and help them implement new methods or skills to continue learning. This paper seeks to understand the extent to which MOOCs have transformed learning with a focus on university-level education. It provides a thorough review of recent research in MOOC implementation, including articles from 2013 to 2023, and analyzes them from a pedagogical perspective. Through a thematic literature review, the researchers explored the challenges and benefits of MOOCs for teachers and learners. The analysis shows that while MOOCs provide numerous benefits, such as self-paced learning and innovative ways for grappling with new materials, several considerations are necessary to maximize their potential.
