Abstract
The goal of this paper is to explore student’s experiences and perspectives of MOOCs in terms of what motivates or limit the use of MOOCs, the extent to which they are used, and the benefits and challenges of using them by reviewing related previous studies. Previous studies found that MOOCs’ use requires technical skills that some people lack. Lack of time and background knowledge is the main problems that students have when using MOOCs. The finding of this study will help providers such as universities, institutions, and schools learn how to implement and improve MOOCs based on students’ perspectives and experiences.
