Is 'Based Learning' the future of online education and MOOCs?

Debora Kneaphsey

As a user of social media, I believe that 'based learning' could be a big part of the future of online education and MOOCs. But what do those words mean?

Online education means learning something using the internet, instead of going to a physical classroom. MOOCs are like big online classes with lots of students from around the world.

Based learning is when you learn something by doing it, instead of just reading and listening. It's like when you learn to ride a bike - it's much easier to learn by actually biking than just reading about it.

So why do I think based learning is important for online education and MOOCs? Well, when you're learning something, it's usually better to actually do it instead of just reading or watching videos about it. For example, if you're learning how to cook, it's much better to actually cook something instead of just reading a recipe.

With online education and MOOCs, sometimes it can be hard to actually do things because you're not in a physical classroom. But if we can find ways to make online learning more hands-on, like through virtual reality or interactive simulations, then I think it could be a really powerful way to learn.

Another reason why based learning is important is that it helps us remember things better. If you just read or listen to something, you'll probably forget it pretty quickly. But if you actually do something, especially if it's something fun or challenging, you're more likely to remember it.

So, in conclusion, I think based learning is an important concept for the future of online education and MOOCs. By finding ways to make online learning more hands-on and interactive, we can create better learning experiences and help people remember things better.
