What is MOOC?

MOOC is an open learning website for teaching and learning. It is open for anyone who are interested to learn the course conducted by the lecturer or instructor. UTM-MOOC has been set up for courses from UTM lecturers who wanted to conduct the course to students inside and outside of UTM. There are quite a number of available courses that use MOOC for T&L. They can even transfer credit (must be certified by MQA).

He has proven that age is not a limit to knowledge. A mother who finally graduated after 12 years and a postgraduate student who is wheelchaired can made it to graduation. All are stories to be proud of! Congratulations to all UTM graduates!!
