We are witnessing an age of digitalization and thereby people get access to products and services at a mouse click, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are no exceptions to it. Usage of MOOCs is determined by a complex of factors such as intrinsic motivation of participants, instructors’ willingness to adapt to MOOCs and to name a few.
