ABSTRACT
Does MOOC in higher education achieve its recognition of
competency based programs to employers? Online education is
becoming a central component to academic programs globally.
Do employers question its master of specific skill and the
collaboration skills needed to fill future postings? Thomas
Friedman suggests that MOOCs are a "revolution" that will
change higher education. I call the threat of MOOCs destroying
the university the "MOOCopalypse (Friedman, T. 2013).
Whether you consider massive open online courses (MOOCs)
the future of higher education or a fad, the fact remains that
they are prevalent. The massive part of the acronym identifies
itself as an ongoing popular trend which is receiving lots of
traction with unlimited course enrollment. Research shows that
MOOCs are offered by over 100 well known universities with
enrollment ranging from a few thousand to over 180,000
(Explorance, 2013). MOOCs are valuable as they provide a way
for people globally to gain unlimited access, knowledge and
skills. However, the nature of MOOCs makes assessing and
evaluating its overall quality and effectiveness difficult. This is
the question that, when answered, will allow MOOC make
changes to their model in order to gain more credibility and
become more effective to the eyes of all involved.
More universities in the United States are beginning to support
and create MOOC content, either partnering with existing

2. MOOC providers or creating their own platform, as Harvard and
MIT have with edX. (Sharrock, 2015; Evans, Baker, & Dee,
2016; “Creative Destruction,” 2014; O'Connor, 2014; Burd,
Smith, & Reisman, 2014; Shi & Yu, 2016; Dodson, Kitburi, &
Berge, 2015; Laurillard, 2016). Nevertheless, without employer
acceptance of MOOC certification, MOOCs will not be taken
seriously by students or universities alike. Evans, et al.
(2016), found a major correlation between a major university
offering certification and MOOC course completion by students.
This is significant, as it shows that one of the primary
motivators for continued education is employment marketability
(Evens, et al, 2016; Ospina-Delgado, Zorio-Grima, & Garcia
Benau, 2016). However, it has been repeatedly reported that
MOOC course completion is dismal, reported to be anywhere
from 5-19% (Evans, et al., 2016; Sharrock, 2015; Kalman, 2014;
Burd, et al., 2014; Alraimi, Zo, & Ciganek, 2014; Shi & Yu,
2016; Laurillard, 2016). However, this is disingenuous, as a
popular MOOC may have tens of thousands of participants,
leading to thousands of students completing the course, far
more than could ever fit inside a classroom (Sharrock,
2015).Importance of the Study
While studies have been done concerning the motivations of
both the students and universities which participate in MOOCs,
little is written on the subject of employers (Evans, et al., 2016;
Jansen, et al., 2015; Alraimi, et al., 2014; Shi & Yu, 2016;
O'Connor, 2014). While the potential uses of MOOCs as both a
business model and as employee training tool have been
discussed, no study has been done on the motivations for the
acceptance or disregard for MOOC certification (Burd, et al.,
2014; Dodson, et al., 2015). This gap in the research needs to be
addressed in order to better design curriculum to fit the needs of
the corporate world. Without demand for MOOC certification by
employers, universities will find it difficult to profit from the
certification process (Jansen, et al., 2015). Students would also
lose a primary motivational factor, an edge over competitors in
the job market (Evans, et al., 2016). Currently, there is no

3. accreditation program for MOOC, unless a university is willing
to accept MOOC certification or completion as credit towards
the course. This generally only happens if the university in
question has developed the course (Sharrock, 2015). However,
if business begins to accept MOOC certification, then
prospective employees will perceive MOOCs as a legitimate
way to gain employment. This, in turn, will induce universities
to follow the market trend and offer more MOOC courses.
Pressure from all three sources will see the government creating
an accreditation process, enforced by the United States
Department of Education, and other such entities around the
world. This would legitimize MOOCs in the eyes of many, and
may lead to greater educational standardization globally. It
is important to note how the employer feels towards the matter
of MOOC certification. Different methods must be utilized if
the general feeling is negative towards the subject, as opposed
to a more neutral outlook. It will also determine the amount of
effort necessary for universities and MOOC participants to
change the outlook of employers towards MOOCs. While a few
MOOC developers and hosts have established student placement
partnerships with employers, such as the Udacity, Georgia Tech,
and AT&T partnership for computer science, these are generally
limited in scope and few in number (Evans, et al., 2016; Burd,
et al., 2014). Ideally, MOOC would be an acceptable addition to
either a high school diploma or a secondary degree, though not
replacing them, and weighted accordingly as proof of additional
training. For instance, it could show that a computer science
major has kept up with modern innovations and best practices
through continuing self-study.
Methodology1
To that end, it is of vital importance that universities
understand why employers are not accepting MOOC
certification, why others accept it, and how to interest
employers in students who have achieved MOOC certification.
Understanding the motivations of hiring managers and business

4. owners is essential if the MOOC platform is to gain traction as
a legitimate form of education. A survey should be developed in
order to assess corporate motivations. The questions would be
answered using a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 corresponding to
strongly agree and 5 corresponding to strongly disagree. This
survey should measure the impact of hypothesized perceptions
of MOOC certification. These hypotheses are as follows:
• Lack of knowledge: Employers may simply not know about
MOOC certification, leading them to dismiss the certification as
fictional or unimportant. If they perceive it as fictional,
achieving MOOC certification may prove to be detrimental to
the potential employee. If dismissed as unimportant, then it is
uncertain whether or not certification is a boon, hindrance, or
inconsequential to the decision making process. It is likely that
larger organizations will have knowledge of MOOCs, while
mid-to-small-sized organizations will not.
• Lack of value: Employers may see MOOC certification as
something anyone could have, and thus of little consequence to
the decision making process. It is likely that employers do not
see value in MOOC certification.
• Lack of quality: Employers may see the lack of
accreditation to mean that the education provided by MOOCs is
sub-par. This may lead to a negative outlook towards those with
MOOC certification. It is likely that employers perceive MOOC
certification as being the product of sub-par education.
• Exclusionary: An employer may see certifications issued
by certain vendors or course developers as more trustworthy
than other, leading to selectively accepting MOOC certification.
This may lead to positive outcomes if the potential employee is
certified by a trusted source, and negatively or neutrally should
it come from an untrusted source. It is likely that employers do
not differentiate between certification issuing
bodies.Limitations of the Study.
However, this proposed survey would only be designed to
determine whether employers perceive MOOC certification with
indifference or negativity, and the motivations behind that

5. perception. It would also be limited in scope, limited to email
respondents. Ideally, a blend of both large and medium sized
organization would respond to the survey, in order to gauge any
correlations between organizational size and perception of
MOOC certification. Furthermore, demographics, such as
location and industry, should be collected in order to determine
any other factors that may correlate with perception of MOOC
certification. Determining how to alleviate the concerns of
employers towards MOOC certification is also beyond the scope
of this research. The methodology used in this potential survey
will not lend itself well to determining how MOOCs must
change in order to become acceptable to the employer. That
topic is too dynamic for a simple multiple choice
questionnaire.Conclusion.
However, the results of this prospective survey would help
other researchers better frame their own research. The lack of
understanding of the reasons why employers do not perceive
MOOC certification in a positive light hinders the development
of MOOC best practices. One of the reasons students attend
class is due to the competitive nature of the job market.
Universities exist to fulfill the needs of both the student and the
employers need for well trained employees. However, with the
rising cost of education, universities must find a way to
decrease costs in order to be viable. MOOCs are one such way,
allowing students to receive course credit or certification at a
significant price break (Burd, et al., 2014). However, without
the demand by employers for MOOC certification, students will
not be motivated to complete MOOC courses, as has been seen,
giving universities no incentive to offer certification or credit.
This is a three-fold relationship, and it cannot continue without
the cooperation of all three players. .

Given the advent of evolution in the future of higher education,
Tashfeen Ahmad offers lecturers, universities and their
leadership some form of assistance through information on
disruptive innovations that are supported by the internet. In this
research, Ahmad reflects on how education should evolve in this
age of the internet while ensuring that all stakeholders benefit
from its provisions. Given the design of this study as a research
review, Ahmad considered the latest research on the subject and
also considered practices by institutions of higher education.
This research established that educators and institutions could
benefit from opportunities that come with incorporating and
applying new learning styles. However, Ahmad warns that
disruptive innovation can lead to changes that cannot be
avoided. The relationship between technology and knowledge is
one that continues to reshape the structure of today's and the
education system of the future. This research, therefore,
provides critical insights as to how educators can utilize the
opportunities that come from the influence technology has on
education.

In this research, Thomas Clarke analyzes the rapid development
of MOOCs as well as its implications for business education. To

9. contextualize his research, Clarke focuses on educational and
business models of MOOCs. His research objectifies the
exploration of the current use of MOOCs, their scalability and
how different institutions of higher learning respond to its
challenge. The approach used by the researcher involves
analyzing the origins, structure as well as the orientation of the
MOOCs before delving into its future trajectory. Clarke
established that MOOCs not only have significant potential to
grow but can also provide quality educational services that can
be supported by established and reputable institutions of higher
learning. However, Clarke also presents points of caution given
that there are many issues about MOOCs that are yet to be
solved. Given that MOOCs are still at a developmental stage,
more is needed to establish a stable ground and cushion
institutions from established challenges. Clarke concludes by
offering research, practical and social implications of his
findings on MOOCs.

headed? A data analysis of the MOOC Research
Initiative. The International Review of Research in Open
and DistributedLearning, 15(5).
As a recent concept potentially affecting one of the most
important industries, MOOC has attracted significant research
effort. In this article, Gasevic and colleagues evaluate the
direction that research on MOOC is headed. The purpose of
analyzing research on this subject is to identify what themes or
constructs of concern arise. After considering 266 submissions
to the MOOC Research Initiative (MRI), the researchers
identified five themes pursued by future research on the subject,
these are; “student engagement and learning success, MOOC
design and curriculum, self-regulated learning and social
learning, social network analysis and networked learning, as
well as motivation, attitude and success criteria.” These
findings are very important in not only evaluating the potential

10. of MOOC in higher education but also identify areas to work
on. The researchers established the theme of social learning as
the most dominant; this is not strange given the increasing
interaction between education and social media. What makes
this source important is that it provides a comprehensive view
of what research says about MOOC and predicts what future
research on the subject will be based on.

and failure in MOOC and general analysis of learner
behavior. International Journal of Information and Education
Technology, 6(4), 262.
In this research, Rai and Chunrao argue that success and
failures in the online learning environment are the consequence
of personal factors as opposed to factors influenced by either
the surroundings or the external environment. These researchers
approach an analysis of success or failure in MOOC on the basis
of learner behavior. In their view, an individual’s behavior
plays a critical role in influencing their success or failure in
MOOC. To develop a perspective as to how individual
personality becomes a critical factor in learning, the researchers
explore comparisons between learner behavior in two systems;
traditional classroom learning and online courses such as the
MOOC. The researchers use data gathered since the introduction
of MOOC from popular universities. The researchers conclude
that despite MOOC being a recent trend in the education
industry, it has significant potential, particularly in
consideration of technological innovation. Additionally, this
research affirms the view that factors influencing failure or
success in MOOCs are purely individual.

implications of the MOOC movement on higher education by
delving into the opportunities and threats associated with the
concept. Having realized that MOOCs challenge traditional
pedagogy, the purpose of this study is to utilize a subjective
approach in evaluating what future this concept holds for higher
education based on opportunities and threats posed. However,
the researchers contextualize their study by focusing on
literature addressing the origin of the MOOC movement in the
United States. This helped to provide a perspective as with
regards to the regional use of MOOCs in Europe. Therefore, the
scholars undertook a research initiative to identify opportunities
and threats of the MOOC movement for institutions of higher
learning in Europe. After gathering data from three sources, the
scholars established the tremendous potential for institutional
collaboration through MOOCs and threats ranging from
implementation challenges to too much regulation.

In this paper the authors’ states that Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOCs) are classes conveyed in an online domain
with a few highlights that are not the same as past ways to deal
with online training. The viability of MOOCs is an open inquiry
as finish rates are considerably not as much as customary online
training courses. The goal of this investigation is to recognize
factors that improve an individual' aim to keep utilizing
MOOCs, in which a restricted measure of research has
beforehand investigated. An examination demonstrates in light
of the data frameworks duration desire affirmation display is
proposed and tried with information gathered at an extensive

12. scale previously researched. The research demonstrates clarified
a considerable level of the change for the aim to keep utilizing
MOOCs, which is essentially affected by seen notoriety, saw
receptiveness, saw helpfulness, and client fulfilment. Seen
notoriety and saw receptiveness were the most grounded
indicators and have not beforehand been analysed with regards
to MOOCs. When massive open online courses or MOOCs first
appeared in 2008 and more widely spread by global MOOC
providers in 2011-2012, they were predicted to achieve world
domination and transformation of higher education. Today,
these predictions are seen to have been overblown. But with
several years of experience now behind them, MOOC providers
and users are adjusting both their perceptions about online
learning and the courses themselves. A review of the literature
was undertaken to develop a better understanding of the
evolution and ramifications of MOOCs and the lessons learned
so far about their role in and contributions to teaching and
learning. Results showed that MOOC learners are diverse, are
from many countries across the globe and are of all cultural
backgrounds and all ages, and that they want to gain both
educational and career benefits from taking MOOCs. Prior
knowledge with a subject and early and consistent engagement
appear to be important for the success in MOOC learning.
Unfortunately no evidence was found to support the role of
MOOCs in mitigating gender-, location-and generation-
disparities in higher education. The paper concluded with
discussion of the emerging issues and implications for higher
education.

Exploring business models for MOOCs in higher education.

In this research article the writer Burd, Smith and Reisman
explores the possibilities of different business models in higher
education through MOOC. Massive Open Online Courses
(MOOCs) conceivably challenge the conventional strength of

13. physical establishments as suppliers of value advanced
education. The advantages of understudies incorporate
decreased training costs and worldwide access to select
organization courses and teachers. Be that as it may, the
advantages of foundations are less clear as there is a monetary
overhead required to create and convey content that is
reasonable for mass understudy utilization. In this article, they
inspected the open doors that MOOCs give and recognize a few
distinctive plans of action challenges for offering MOOCs.
Utilizing an open, online course to arrange an arrangement of
nearby learning networks intrigued by a typical theme is
anything but another thought. Ds106 is a computerized narrating
course that began at the University of Mary Washington and has
included different local learning networks, including credit-
bearing courses at different foundations. Mike Caulfield, now at
Washington State University at Vancouver, connected the ds106
model to an alternate theme — water — making the Water106
thought explore. FemTechNet, a gathering of researchers keen
on the convergence of women's liberation and innovation, ran a
"disseminated open community-oriented course" (DOCC) in
2013 that associated scholarly courses at fifteen schools and
colleges. Cathy Davidson's "History and Future of Higher
Education" MOOC not long ago included an approximately
planned system of local learning networks.

Possibilities for MOOCs in corporate training and development.
Performance Improvement, 54(10), 14-21.
The authors of this study explored the variants of performance
improvement techniques required in MOOCs in corporate
development and training. The coming of Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOCs) has been adjusting the Higher Education
scene as of late. This sort of courses is infiltrating in an
expanding number of colleges, the dominant part of which
doesn't appear to have goals to quit offering them temporarily.
Such courses are producing new instructive situations to which

14. colleges need to adjust, which makes an arrangement of
difficulties and openings, the greater part of them identified
with the utilization of innovation in training. This investigation
means to reveal insight into such difficulties and openings when
a college utilizes postgraduate understudies as MOOC guides.
For this study, an arrangement of centre gathering interviews
was directed in an English college to PhD understudies in
different orders. In the meetings, members share their
encounters as guides, particularly with respect to how they built
up certain educating and advanced abilities, and how they
confronted certain difficulties identified with their
computerized character. Massive Open Online Courses
(MOOCs) are having a discernible effect in higher instruction
Institutions (HEIs) at a worldwide scale. Consistently, new
colleges join MOOCs in their instructive indexes, and the
quantity of courses on offer has not quit developing since the
dispatch of the main MOOCs in 2008. Information gathered by
the group of the Class Central MOOC aggregator demonstrates
that in 2016 the quantity of MOOCs recognized has achieved
4100. A similar aggregator recognizes in excess of 605
Universities as MOOC suppliers. Another figure to be featured
is the number of students enlisted in MOOCs: in excess of 36
million out of 2016, twice the same number of as those in the
earlier year. There is additionally an inclination towards
internationalization and multilingualism, as the level of MOOCs
in English has marginally diminished. Spain and France, whose
biggest stages are MiridadX and FUN separately, lead the
positioning of non-English talking nations as far as the quantity
of MOOCs advertised. The outcomes propose that taking part in
MOOCs as tutors can help early vocation analysts to build up
certain instructing, advanced, and scholastic abilities that could
be advantageous for the establishments they work for, and for
themselves. In any case, their online introduction once in a
while raises certain ramifications for their open picture, their
working conditions, and their online expert personality.

Persistence patterns in massive open online courses (MOOCs).

The authors’ derived particular ways of mingling and bondage
and continuous interest in MOOC for higher education.
Utilizing an exceptional dataset of 45 Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOCs), this article analyses basic examples of
enrolment, commitment, perseverance, and consummation
among understudies in online advanced education. By utilizing
settled impacts determinations in light of more than 2.2 million
understudy perceptions crosswise over in excess of 2,800
addresses, the scholars investigated commitment, steadiness,
and finishing rates at the understudy, address, and course levels.
The creators discovered convincing and steady transient
examples: over all courses, support decays quickly in the
primary week yet in this way soothes out in later long stretches
of the course. In any case, this rot isn't altogether uniform. We
likewise found that few understudy and address particular
characteristics were related with understudy constancy and
commitment. For instance, the sequencing of an address inside a
bunch of discharged recordings and in addition its title wording
was identified with understudy viewing. We additionally
observed reliable examples in how understudy qualities are
related with industriousness and fruition. Understudies will
probably total the course on the off chance that they finished a
pre-course study or took after a quantitative track (rather than
subjective or reviewing track) when accessible. These
discoveries propose potential course configuration changes that
are probably going to expand commitment, industriousness, and
fruition in this vital, new instructive setting. Such advancement
needs to do with the adjustment that scholastics need to make to
address exceptionally differing learning networks with one
component in like manner: they all learn through the web.
Despite the fact that it has not been exhibited that instructive
development is the fundamental driver for incorporating

16. MOOCs in HEI techniques, it has been noticed that the
connections amongst MOOCs and instructive advancement are a
prevailing theme in the particular press.
· Laurillard, D. (2016). The educational problem that MOOCs
could solve: professional development for teachers of
disadvantaged students. Research in Learning Technology, 24.
The writer clearly establishes a point that Computerized
advances can do much for education, however, it is problematic
to ask 'what issue would we be able to fathom with this
innovation?' This is the thing that happened when the primary
free online courses from top US colleges pulled in massive
understudy numbers. Huge numbers draw in speculation, and
this prompted the improvement of learning stages to oversee
showing exercises on the extensive scale. At that point the talk
required the enormous issues to coordinate the creation of the
massive open online course (MOOC), and "Training for all" was
the substantially hopeful. Access to advanced education is one
of the huge issues in education. For instance, by 2026 the
worldwide interest for advanced education is anticipated to
twofold to ~201 m for each year, generally from rising
economies. The early energy about MOOCs combine around the
possibility that they could conceivably be an answer for this
massive instructive issue. In this study, the socioeconomics of
massive open online course (MOOC) examination demonstrates
that the colossal dominant part of students is exceedingly
qualified experts, and not, as initially conceived, the worldwide
network of burdened students who have no entrance to great
advanced education. MOOC teaching method fits well with the
