• In Event: OTP - Workplace Learning

Short Description

This proposal reports an in-progress study on the acceptance of Massive Open Online Courses for vocational education and workplace learning with a specific focus on the perspectives of employees. The findings of a pilot survey study indicate that the majority of participants see the benefits of corporate Massive Open Online Courses. However, corporate MOOCs are required to focus on specific work-related issues which in most cases require custom-built content and expert teachers from within the business context.
