MOOCS: NORTHERN AND GLOBAL SOUTH VIEWS IN THE LIGHT OF FICHTE’S TRIAD

ABSTRACT

An informative, comprehensive abstract of 200 to 250 words must also be submitted and typed on OpenCourseWare, Open Education Resources, and Massive Open Online Courses which are means of ‘‘Openness’’ in education and have lately been atrociously criticized for serving so-called neo-colonial goals of developed countries. In this study, we successfully map the pros and cons of MOOCs by applying Fichte’s Triad as a theoretical framework. The thesis section symbolizes the Global South’s approach to MOOCs while the antithesis part stands for the North and the way MOOCs are viewed there. By synthesizing the thesis and antithesis on MOOCS, we offer a new perspective on MOOCS in the synthesis part.
