MOOCs – Future of Online Education
The dawn of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is the most important technological development of the times so far. MOOCs can have enormous transformative impact on billions of people in the world. Currently offered by several distinguished universities through consortia such as Coursera of Stanford, and edX of Harvard, MOOCs are “attended” by hundreds of thousands of students from around the world. The reward for completion is the satisfaction of acquiring new or necessary information and skills. By providing free access to anyone with an Internet connection, MOOCs facilitate the dissemination of knowledge to unprecedented numbers of people.
“It is estimated that India Inc. will require close to 20 million managers over the next 10 years and this demand is expected to grow exponentially and The size of this industry is valued at USD one billion and estimated to grow at 8 % to 10% year-on-year. Online education is becoming more popular both among students and employers due to its flexibility and affordability. Initiatives like Coursera of the Standford have attracted millions of learners for their online courses across the globe." said Prof. MJ Xavier,Director IIM Ranchi. "The myBskool course content has been designed keeping in mind an India relevant context & globally relevant content." he added.
Keeping in mind the MOOCs becoming the “next big thing,” this Indian startup pioneered this initiative to take world class management education to the masses. Chennai based myBskool.com is an initiative that will offer world class management education transcending the barriers of time and distance by leveraging the power of ICT.
