Abstract

Institutional culture involves learning and cultural expansion. Globalization in education underpins all academic endeavours. In December 2016, 58 million students took online courses from 700 colleges and 6850 institutions. India's colleges are trying to address students' educational demands by offering MOOCs nationwide. NPTEL, mooKIT, IITBX, and SWAYAM provide online education. "SWAYAM", the latest government project, aims to provide vast services. mooKIT can provide online classes of any size. It was created for cMOOCs (connectivist MOOC). mooKit has held 60 courses in India and abroad. The MoE, AICTE, and Microsoft developed the SWAYAM platform to help working professionals, rural students, and high school and college dropouts. Globally, MOOC platforms improve education access. The top Indian MOOC platforms are NPTEL, mooKIT, IITBX, and SWAYAM.
