Abstract
In India there is a huge system of education from primary to tertiary level,
millions of teachers are engaged in teaching learning process. In order to enhance
their skills and providing them continuous content as well as pedagogical updation,
no established traditional face-to-face system can get success. As per estimation
there are around 9.5 million teachers are in school education and around 1.5 million
in higher education in India. In such a situation, providing teachers with an opportunity
to have professional self-enhancement options on a sustainable and continuing basis
is a big challenge. There is lack of consistency in professional development opportunities
for teacher in all developing countries including India, as they face historical
and systematic inequity in access to professional development. In such a situation
MOOC is an effective alternative. MOOCs can be a relatively perfect medium to professional
development of teachers in many ways. This theoretical paper highlights the role
of MOOCs in the professional development of teachers.
