Statement II:MOOC uses ICT to make education accessible to students in remote areas or who cannot reach conventional classrooms.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct ✓ Correct
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because the M in MOOC, Massive, refers to the very large number of learners who can enrol at once.
Statement 2 is correct because MOOCs use information and communication technology to bring courses to learners in remote places or outside conventional classrooms.
A single MOOC can carry tens of thousands of students without the limits of a physical room.
Delivery over the internet removes distance as a barrier to enrolment.
Both statements therefore describe MOOCs accurately.
MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course, and Open means it is generally free and available to all.
