This article discusses the implementation of technologies of online learning in the mode of massive open online courses, namely, online classes, which are considered as a platform for distance learning and interactive communication between students and teacher. These technologies allow to provide the choice of content, rate, forms of work for students, to increase level of individualization and personification of education, to facilitate learning irrespective of place and time of being, to decrease subjectiveness of evaluation of learning results, to make the learning process more accessible. Theoretical foundations of connectivism are considered as a learning theory implementing the learning process on the basis of online information technologies. This approach changes the role of the teacher, who, acting as a tutor, regulates the pace and volume of students’ work, organizes the exchange of information, thereby creating a community. This article determines the reasons and features of creation of communities of teachers and students during studying in massive open online course. In the frames of this study, network community is considered as a group of students and teachers participating in interactive communication by means of network tools, social networks and messengers. This communication format allows to solve the problems of formation not only of subject but also of meta-subject results of learning, namely, communicative properties of students. The features of construction of communicative activity in these communities are exemplified by the course titled Preparing students for USE in mathematics (profile level), implemented in Volgograd State Socio-Pedagogical University on Miroznai platform. Examples of classes are discussed, each being devoted to solution to one of the task types presented in ESU in mathematics of profile level. Analysis of execution of tests proposed in the course demonstrates that the results of the considered students are somewhat higher than those of students studying in isolation.

Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education) emphasizes on the usage of information technology and transformation in teaching and learning process. The 9th shift from the blueprint; globalised online learning is to transform the education system and uses information technologies to enhance the learning quality in Malaysia. This suits the Education 4.0 where 21st century skills are important to be applied in education. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) is one platform that has been introduced as a new approach in teaching and learning process. This quantitative study aims to look at students’ readiness in using MOOC in their teaching and learning process. To serve this purpose, a questionnaire was administered to 213 students at one polytechnic in the Southern Zone. Data were measured using Likert Scale of 1-5 and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Descriptive statistics using mean were reported to describe the students’ readiness. The findings show that the level of readiness for students to use MOOC is in the highest level with the overall mean of 4.0238.  Results express that students are ready to use MOOC in their teaching and learning.

Abstract Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in the Arab World are still in their infancy. Many Arab countries are now starting to launch their MOOC platforms; however, there are only a few who have actually implemented such systems. This paper will explore online learning, in particular the rise of MOOCs around the world and their impact on the Arab World. The purpose of this paper is to give a true picture of the development of the first MOOC platforms in the Arab World. It will analyse in detail the concept, definitions, background, and types of MOOCs (xMOOCs and cMOOCs), as well as the main MOOCs platform in the Western and Arab worlds, and a timeline of the development of MOOCs. It will then observe the status of MOOCs in the developed world, opportunities in the Middle East, and the influence of Western MOOCs on the Arab world, from many perspectives, e.g. educational, religious, cultural and social.

Revolusi industri 4.0 memacu kemunculan perkuliahan berbasis digital. Perguruan tinggi dapat mengantisipasi revolusi industri 4.0 dengan mengembangkan pendidikan tinggi jarak jauh atau terbuka yang dapat diimplementasikan dalam tiga model, yaitu: pembelajaran sepenuhnya online learning; blended learning, atau dikombinasikan dalam mata kuliah. Model pembelajaran MOOCs (massive open online courses) dapat dijadikan pilihan untuk pendidikan terbuka (open education). Inti utama model pembelajaran MOOCs adalah kolaborasi dan konektivitas. Pustakawan berperan untuk mendukung dan memfasilitasi model pembelajaran MOOCs. Pustakawan embedded adalah bagian komunitas model pembelajaran MOOCs dan harus berkolaborasi,menjalin hubungan erat dengan mahasiswa dan dosen. Pustakawan embedded dan model pembelajaran MOOCs memiliki esensi sama yaitu komunitas dan kolaborasi. Penguasaan teknologi informasi, online learning, literasi informasi sebagai kapasitas untuk menghadirkan pustakawan embedded dalam mencapai keberhasilan model pembelajaran MOOCs.

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to policies that make teachers and students have to adapt the face-to-face learning model to online learning. The teacher of SD N 2 Cakranegara admits that there are limitations to the variety of audio-visual learning media used. The teachers also don't know and have never tried to develop game games with learning content, even though Android-based games are very possible to be developed and accessed portable on smartphones, the majority of which are already owned by teachers and students. The provision of workshops and assistance in making Android-based educational games for SD N 2 Cakranegara teachers aims to improve skills in creating and developing learning media in the form of educational games and maximizing the use of smartphones. The targeted output in this service activity is the existence of educational games that are ready to be used for the online learning process through appsgeyser.com and quickappninja.com.

The study aims to analyze the learning process in the (online) network, supportive factors and teacher inhibitory factors in carrying out online learning during the covid-19 pandemic. The study was carried out at muhammadiyah elementary school 2 the estimated shidoarjo city of sidoarjo in April. The study USES descriptive qualitative methods. The subject used in this study was an elementary school teacher at 2 tulangan elementary elementary school. The data-collection techniques used in this study include interviews, documentation and field notes. The result of this study is that the covid-19 pandemic has hada profound impact on the learning process, learning that is normally executed directly is now being transferred to online learning. Learners are bored and bored during learning. Online education done for primary-age children is less effective. A number of teacher factors in the online learning process are the availability of cell phones, quotas and a steady Internet network. In addition to supporting factors in online learning, there are several teacher inhibitors in online learning. These inhibiting factors include the fact that they are still at the elementary school level, so only a few students have cellphones, therefore this can make learning ineffective. Through online there are also obstacles that occur for teachers, namely many students who deliberately do not participate in online learning because they do not have an internet quota to access learning so that students are left behind. And there is also a learning strategy carried out by SD Muhammadiyah 2 Tulangan. On the other hand, face-to-face online learning through applications is the most beneficial thing to break the spread of Covid-19 and maintain the mental health of teachers and students from exposure to the Covid-19 virus.

In an effort to suppress the spread of the Covid-19 virus, Kemdikbud took a policy to close schools during the Covid-19 pandemic. All schools that initially did conventional learning by face-to-face, now learning is done from home through distance learning or online system, no exception pondok pesantren. The purpose of this research is to find out the distance learning process conducted by Pondok Pesantren Darunnajah 2 Cipining, Bogor. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative approach. Based on research can be known that in learning, pesantren use various platforms such as google classroom, google meet, whatsapp, and smart system. In this online learning, the materials and tasks given are quite diverse, although there are no tasks in the form of discussions so that the interaction between students and students and teachers cannot be done. All parties, both students, teachers, and parents experienced a culture shock with the existence of this distance learning system / online. Distance learning /online also gives rise to physical distancing. Religious activities that are usually carried out in pesantren are now carried out at home and all must be reported to the teacher or room guardian via whatsapp. The challenges faced in online learning include a lack of interaction between teachers and students, a network that arises to sink, quotas that are rapidly depleted and expensive, and a lack of active participation of students. Therefore, the readiness of both teachers and students, as well as motivation from parents can also support the implementation of this distance learning process. In addition, the provision of quotas is also important to support the online learning process carried out by pesantren.

In this chapter, “lessons learned” and best practices that have resulted from the implementation of technology-focused professional learning community in a College of Education, as well as recommendations for future implementations are addressed. The Technology & Teaching Professional Learning Community, which was created by faculty in the College of Education at UNC Charlotte, provided professional development to faculty engaged in teaching hybrid and online courses. This was one of several professional development efforts at UNC Charlotte, but one, the authors suggest, that created a safe and effective space for scaffolding instructors less familiar with online learning technologies and tools.

<p class="0abstract">For an innovation producing education, MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) platforms offer a plethora of learning resources and pedagogical activities to support the university’s 4.0 new era and the lifelong learning movement. Nevertheless, the rapid advances in learning technologies imply the need for personalized guidance for learners and adapted learning materials. In this paper we seek to enhance the MOOC learner experience by providing a semantic recommender system for the diversity and abundance of MOOCs available for learners. Firstly, the paper analyses the state of the art of the semantic recommendation approach in a distance learning context. Then it describes the proposed MOOC recommendation system that uses the ontological representation of the learner model and MOOCs content to make its intelligent suggestions. Finally, we explore the development phases of the semantic MOOC recommendation system to define the implications for the progress of our research.</p>
