3. Particularly with regard to content, it should be improved in terms of
quality, namely: current, interesting and interactive issues. It is

CONCLUSION
Challenge for sustainability: adjustment for future moocs – an important
remark
Based on the above analysis, it can be said that the issue of quality
enhancement isa big concern for Higher Education Institution. Study quality
of MOOCs UT indicates that learning experience still needs to be improved,
particularly in constucting new platform which can fasilitate participants to
collaborate, so that some aspects such as interactivity, knowledge sharing,
dan networking can be created. It is known that compared to other online
courses, MOOCs are lack of structure, and put awayinstructor or teacher as
central role. Quality enhancement has to create learning experience and the
question is:what pedagogical and organizational mechanism might be
required of MOOC to deliver high quality learning? The recommendation
adopting learning design activities framework from Conole (2014) can be
used as guidance : Capture – Communicate – Collaborate - Consider (4 Cs):
1. Capture (relate to resources audit): Possible revenue streams should be
identified to sustain MOOCs offering. Cost associated with MOOC
offerings like: technical team, teacher/instructor fees for assessment,
and certification should be considered. The development of MOOC
begins to focus on market segmentation for serving more focused
groups of users. So, MOOCs should address development of skills
needed by the industry and requirement of lifelong learners.
2. Communicate (mechanism to foster communication): facilitating
collaborative network in the platform, the instructors should initiate the
culture where students build relationship among other students and
facilitate them through learning journey to build network of interest
group of study.
3. Consider (assessment strategy): Offering MOOCs that really heavily on
peer engagement and assessment to support individual learning
process. Some concerns are expressed around cheating and plagiarism
with online learning, especially for courses eligible for academic credit.
