Chapter 3: MOOCs in Malaysia Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) 47

“MOOCs open the classrooms to public and the public
become the classroom. MOOCS is a journey in connected
places where people sometimes become learners, change
their role to become teachers, or switch places as designers

or sometimes they just become followers. Whatever it is,
MOOCs is a learning journey for everyone, the journey to
learn or even to master skills by connecting through virtual

environment to gain real world experiences.”

BOUNDARIES
“ ”the absence of progress

Malaysian public universities have come a long way in disrupting
the conventional higher education by being part of the MOOCs

movement. As indicated in the global trends of MOOCs (Class
Central, 2017) production and enrolment, Malaysia MOOCs are

also showing significant increase in the numbers of courses
being published in MOOCs-mode despite a slower growth in
terms of enrolment. Such trend signifies the relevance of such
endeavour and its prevailing contribution toward Malaysian

students’ attainment of quality higher education.

BEYOND OUR However, with such rapid increase in terms of course offering year in and
COMFORT year out, there is an increased cry of “MOOCs are dead” (Warner, 2017)
ZONE
and many platform providers are struggling to innovate beyond the
usual models of MOOCs offerings to sustain themselves financially.

Despite this, there is still a great opportunity for Malaysia MOOCs to
flourish amidst the crowded “MOOCs Ecology” or MOOCsology.

Top on the list of “What’s Next” in Malaysia MOOCs agenda are centred upon the following:

At present, there are over 200 MOOCs-based credentials available, Expanding the
covering full degree certification to micro-credentials and nano Recognition of
degrees (Kiers,2016). These new credentials allow learners to prove
that they have attained some level of competence in specific skill MOOCs

areas. The way forward for Malaysia MOOCs is to ensure whichever
credentials that are being offered to the learners are recognised 01
nationwide, by as many bodies as possible. This would achieve the
intended goal of leveraging MOOCs for professional development
and upskilling about Malaysians not only in higher education but the
