Perspectives on Curriculum Inclusive MOOCs for Engineering Education: Reflection & Learning The world is moving towards new and innovative approaches for providing education to the students and enhance their learning. MOOC which stands for Massive Open Online Courses is one such approach which has been quite popular in the recent times and is believed to have high potential to improve the learning of the students drastically. Universities are moving towards adopting these MOOCs by implementing various models to merge these MOOCs in their curriculum. The paper highlights the implementation of new form of blended MOOCs that has been termed as Curriculum Inclusive MOOCs which was offered by a Private University in India to its students through their academic planning worksheet as proposed by the authors in the framework of ciMOOCs. Major focus of the study was the integration of MOOCs in curriculum of Universities. Comparative of the studentxe2x80x99s performance in ciMOOCs and conventional MOOCs was the objective of this study. To complete the study, ciMOOC was implemented in a private University in India by selecting a particular course in Computer Science discipline from National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL). As a result we were able to compare the performance of students in the ciMOOC with the performance of learners of that particular MOOC on the platform.

Contextualising the LearnerCentric MOOCs Model for Effective Blending of FlippedClassroom Method in Engineering Physics Course This study focuses on contextualising the LearnerCentric MOOCs (LCM) model for an effective blending of flippedclassroom strategy alongside the inclass traditional lecturing in an undergraduate engineering physics course. The research design employed in this study is a single group, pretest, posttest analysis. The main research problem being addressed in this study is does the flipped contents when integrated with LCM based structured learning activities lead to an improved engagement of students, thereby increasing the conceptual understanding. First, the students were primed for one full semester to get adapted with the flipped classroom method as well as the LCM activity formats. Further, few key interventions were prompted such as giving incentives, grouping, counselling of low engaged and performers, support materials, NPTel based resources, etc across the first few modules, with an aim to improve the outofclass engagement. Our results showed that the engagement and learning effectiveness showed considerable improvement upon priming following the key interventions. Further, the students showed positive perception of learning, engagement and usefulness towards this blended technique. Few recommendations are provided for the other teachers who would like to adopt the contextualize improvisation of the LCM model for their flipped teachinglearning practices.
