“…To our knowledge, this is also one of the issues that contributes to the challenge of finding a viable and sustainable business model for MOOCs. Currently, the main motivations for developing and running MOOCs are spreading knowledge, educating the public about specific products, broadcasting desired beliefs and research in general [3], [6], [18].…”

This work presents insights about the long-term effects and retention rates of knowledge acquired within MOOCs. In 2015 and 2017, we conducted two introductory MOOCs on object-oriented programming in Java with each over 10,000 registered participants. In this paper, we analyze course scores, quiz results and self-stated skill levels of our participants. The aim of our analysis is to uncover factors influencing the retention of acquired knowledge, such as time passed or knowledge application, in order to improve longterm success. While we know that some participants learned the programming basics within our course, we lack information on whether this knowledge was applied and fortified after the course's end. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a survey in 2018 among all participants of our 2015 and 2017 programming MOOCs. The first part of the survey elicits responses on whether and how MOOC knowledge was applied and gives participants opportunity to voice individual feedback. The second part of the survey contains several questions of increasing difficulty and complexity regarding course content in order to learn about the consolidation of the acquired knowledge. We distinguish three programming knowledge areas in the survey: First, understanding of concepts, such as loops and boolean algebra. Second, syntax knowledge, such as specific keywords. Third, practical skills including debugging and coding. We further analyzed the long-term effects separately per participant skill group. While answer rates were low, the collected data shows a decrease of knowledge over time, relatively unaffected by skill level. Application of the acquired knowledge improves the memory retention rates of MOOC participants across all skill levels.

The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is a very recent development in higher education institutions in Malaysia. As in September 2015, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) has introduced Mandarin course under Malaysia MOOCs. The study has focused on undergraduate's perception of MOOC in Mandarin subject in fostering their employability skills as a research variable. The researcher used qualitative and quantitative method as a research design. An interview was used to investigate their perception of MOOC in Mandarin subject to foster their employability skills. An online survey was also conducted to investigate the effectiveness of MOOC learning. Undergraduates in UTeM were selected as the respondents of this study. The findings show that among all the employability skill, students believe Mandarin Massive online learning course fosters two employability skills which are 'information gaining skill' and 'system and technology skill'.This study on MOOCs is important for the decision-making of the government and relevant institution to make sound decisions. This research is also significant for its contribution towards teaching practices in higher education institution.

<p>One of the effects of the 2019-20 Coronavirus pandemic is relied on education throughout the world. Education in Indonesia is also affected by the COVID-19 virus. All levels of education from elementary schools to tertiary institutions (universities) both under the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture and those under the Indonesian Ministry of Religion are "forced" to learn from home because of face-to-face learning removed to prevent COVID-19 transmission. Under these conditions, the education system can adopt Seamless Learning. Seamless Learning allows students to determine when and where they will learn. This research is a literature study reviewing studies which show that Seamless can now be done to replace traditional systems during pandemic. Seamless Learning can be an option for learning methods that can be applied during the COVID-19 quarantine period. Seamless Learning allows students to learn more independently and does not sacrifice students with certain hours and duration as long as the material is affordable and accessible to students. Students can easily access material and are not limited by certain devices making it easier for students who do not have a computer or laptop.</p>
