MOOCbased

MOOCbased is a term that describes educational initiatives or platforms that are built around or heavily utilize Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It signifies a strategy of leveraging the reach, accessibility, and often specialized content of MOOCs to achieve specific educational or professional development goals. This can manifest in various ways. For instance, a university might adopt a MOOCbased approach for its introductory courses, providing foundational knowledge through online lectures and assessments, and then using in-person sessions for more interactive discussions and practical application.

Organizations may also use a MOOCbased model for corporate training. This allows them to deliver standardized learning experiences to a large and geographically dispersed workforce. Companies might select existing MOOCs from reputable providers or even develop their own MOOCs tailored to their specific industry needs. The "based" aspect implies that the MOOCs are not merely supplementary but form the core of the learning experience, providing the primary structure and content delivery mechanism. This approach offers scalability and cost-effectiveness, making education more accessible to a wider audience.
