In developing countries dominated by a market of expensive private colleges and universities, most people cannot afford to attend private higher education and there is lack of capacity in public universities. in such countries, MOOCs have the potential to widen higher education access by providing high-quality knowledge, job-oriented training and skills development at a cost greatly below that of conventional higher education and therefore, contributing to the democratisation of higher education. Although developing countries face various barriers including financial constraints, lack of capacity, national priorites and the digital divide, MOOCs can be a valuable bridge between higher education and the growing demand for employability in these countries."Item type | Current library | Status | Barcode | |
