Abstract
MOOCs appeared as disruptive force in contemporary education, offering flexible and accessible learning opportunities to learners. This research paper conducts a comprehensive review and analysis of the application of MOOCs in both formal and non-formal education systems among students enrolled in professional courses at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Dehradun district. Through a systematic review of existing literature, the paper examines the, pedagogical approaches of integrating MOOCs into formal and non-formal education contexts. Through an in-depth examination of multiple case studies, this study aims to provide insights into the utilization, challenges, and implications of MOOCs integration in professional education settings. This research seeks to understand how MOOCs are being utilized in formal and non-formal education settings among professional courses students in HEIs. The researcher employs a qualitative approach, utilizing case studies as the primary methodological framework. Data is collected through interviews, observations and document analysis that provides understanding of the contextual factors influencing the adoption and implementation of MOOCs in HEI across Dehradun. The analysis is guided by theoretical frameworks related to technology-enhanced learning, educational innovation, and institutional change. Results reveal diverse experiences and perspectives regarding the incorporation of MOOCs in formal and non-formal education. While some HEIs demonstrate robust support structures and successful integration strategies, others face challenges related to faculty readiness, technological infrastructure, and student engagement. The findings provide us knowledge of the complexities surrounding MOOCs integration in professional education within the Dehradun district. By examining real-world cases, this research identifies key facilitators and barriers to successful implementation, offering practical insights for educators, policymakers, and administrators seeking to harness the potential of MOOCs to enhance learning outcomes and educational access. This paper open the paves for future research directions and implications for practice based on the case study findings.
