Abstract

There is no doubt that the recent emergence of MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) has rapidly rippled through the entire higher education sector fuelled by a concern that the new era of certified open education courses offered by elite US institutions could turn to a tsunami which could sweep away traditional models of course and program delivery and force the sector to quickly revisit their traditional operating practices.
