Development of Adaptive MOOC Models in Universities

Abstract

The existence of activity restrictions as a follow up to the case of COVID 19, private universities whose learning is not yet based on technology have obstacles to implement online learning policies. Lecturers and students are not ready so the ability to adapt to carry out online learning is low. MOOC is a trend of integrating technology with education where education can be free anytime, anywhere. The development and utilization of MOOCs can encourage students to learn independently online. Based on several studies, MOOC based learning system is suitable for use in online learning and practicum based facilities in covid 19. The purpose of this research is the development of adaptive MOOC model as a technology that anticipates distance learning in higher education. The stages of this research method are Four-D Model which consists of 4 stages of development, namely Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The results of this study stated that MOOC is an adaptive technology that can be mastered by students well and quickly. MOOC can be an alternative to complement and replace traditional learning. MOOC can be a learning tool that is flexible to space and time as well as to user profiles related to age, educational background and educational institution. Learning with MOOC educates students to learn independently to construct the material they get. MOOC has proven to have increased student curiosity and become a learning technology that is close to the younger generation who are accustomed to using technology in their daily lives.
