| Summary: | Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is a new online phenomenon that allows a massive number of learners to participate in a course. A MOOC is accessible to public with no geographical boundary. In order to promote Malaysian education globally, Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education encourages Malaysian higher learning institutions to develop MOOCs that reflect their niche. Many Malaysian higher learning institutions have adopted it into their teaching. It includes MOOCs to teach English for Occupational Purposes (EOP). However, the existing MOOCs on EOP have their limitations such as inaccessibility to the public as it requires an access code to access the content of the MOOC. To address this issue, an EOP MOOC was developed aiming to teach job application skills and language use for job application to undergraduates and fresh graduates as its main targeted learners. ADDIE instructional model was adopted in this study. A survey was conducted among 30 graduates at the analysis stage and 30 English for Specific Purposes students at the evaluation stage. The evaluation stage was done by gathering students' perception towards the usefulness and ease of use of the MOOC. Davis' Perceived Usefulness and Ease of Use survey was adapted to gather the ESP students' perception. The study found that the MOOC was positively perceived as useful and easy to use by the students. Only two issues were raised. One is the need for clearer voice overs and the need for guidelines on navigating around the MOOC. |
