Abstract
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have become popular for diverse learners to upgrade their knowledge and skills. New Instructors are creating MOOCs which focus on the use of technology features to create space of their classroom actions. It is necessary to be aware of the technology affordances at diversity level but it is more important to focus on the pedagogy of how to use the MOOC features effectively to promote student engagement and learning. Hence MOOC instructors need a set of design principles and guidelines to create a learner-centric MOOC. In this paper, we will discuss the Learner-Centric MOOC (LCM) model, and how to apply it to create effective MOOCs. It is implemented for some points in Power Electronics course Final year B Tech students and learning analysis was carried out to find its impact on learning.
