MOOC as supplementary tutoring to public school students learning

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have recently received a great deal of attention from educational organizations. The benefit of MOOCs is that they provide free access to education that could lower down the cost of education. A MOOC have potential to provide much more advantage to the students than a traditional online course. Every student has diverse learning needs and it would be beneficial for students if they get chance to decide and take control of their learning. In this paper, we present a research to combine the potential of MOOC with the student-centered approach using a learning management system (LMS). Our preliminary study with students showed their acceptability and longingness for the above approach. In partnership with the project "My Moodie School", we developed courses that reflects the combination of MOOC perspective with that of student-centered approach. Our results of preliminary study suggested that the proposed approach could enhance students' learning recovery process.
