Abstract
  • As technology grows, the process of teaching and learning can be achieved by using a variety of tools to enhance the learning process, especially as we move to Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0). This means that IR 4.0 will not only affect industries, but consequently will transform the way jobs and education change. This will result in the evolution of education 4.0. Nowadays, MOOC has been used broadly as an online learning method that turn as a tool in teaching and learning. The use of Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) has been widely spread, especially at a higher learning institution as well as the other popular method and tools through social media such as Facebook application and Instagram. MOOC also can promote educational information, autonomous learning and lifelong learning. Nevertheless, the research on the acceptance of this technology at a higher learning institution was less. Thus, this study attempted to propose a conceptual framework on the acceptance of MOOC among Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) students in teaching and learning within their campus. The design of these studies, including the theoretical framework of the MOOC literature using Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The proposed framework of this study would make an understanding of the technology acceptance of MOOC especially at a higher learning institution in education area.
