Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offer university-level courses online for free or low cost, allowing a large number of students to study high-quality courses from prestigious universities without completing an entire degree program. MOOCs have several benefits, including making education accessible to more people by removing barriers like attendance requirements. They also allow connected learning on a global scale and use analytics to improve the learning process. However, MOOCs do not lead to formal qualifications and their ability to replace the traditional university experience has been debated.

Massive Open Online Content (MOOC) is defined by
Educause as a model for delivering learning content online to
any person who wants to take a course, with no limit on
attendance. It can be characterized by the following:
a. A revolutionary approach to education that veers away
from the physical to the virtual.
b. A kind of learning that happens online, breaking the norm
of traditional schools or universities for higher education.
c. Utilizes information technologies like analytics to help
instructors gauge their student’s learning.
d. Emphasis on connectedness.

IMPLICATIONS
1. By taking learning into virtual space, attendance is no longer a determining
factor in one’s education. This makes MOOC learning a popular alternative for
those whose life situations make them unable to attend regular schools.
2. Managing MOOC is relatively cheaper than running educational institutions. By
taking out the experiences of Universities – which are passed down to students
in exorbitant fees- MOOC addresses the high cost of education.
3. Analytic provides information about the learning process of students. Through
the use of data collected through analytic, MOOC provides a means to improve
learning.
4. Since it focuses on connectedness as part of the learning process, MOOC
allows education to take place on a global scale. Connecting learners and
instructors all over the world to one another to maximize education.

Wearable technology
seen to be the up-and-
coming technology of the
future. Wearable
technologies today are
smartwatches. These
watches are worn as a typical
wristwatch but do more than
just tell time. Modern smart
watches perform the same
functions as smartphones.

inability to function as
an independent gadget
puts it at a distinct
disadvantage

It is derived from smart
watches in form and physical
design but serves health
applications. Fitness trackers
aim to promote health and
wellness among its
enthusiasts, unfortunately,
issues in their accuracy have

3D or three dimensional in its literal sense refers to anything that
has width, height, and depth. The physical world is an example
of a 3D environment. The concept of 3D environment is explored
to mimic the physical world in media. Films are among the most
common media offerings that incorporates 3D. 3D films make
objects in their material appear solid to the audience through the
illusion of perception. Earlier 3D motion pictures require
audience to glasses with red and blue lenses. Another notable
development is 3D printing. This technology brings digital data
and design to the physical world literally. The concept of 3D bio-
printing or 2D printing, using human materials like tissue and
bones to create organs or body parts that can be theoretically
translated to an actual human body aims to solve that.
