Summary
Massive Open Online Course atau singkatannya dipanggil MOOC terkenal sebagai satu kaedah pembelajaran terkini di seluruh dunia (McGuire, 2014). Menurut kajian yang dijalankan oleh Nor (2012), proses pembelajaran dan pengajaran dapat dipertingkatkan sekiranya seseorang pendidik itu mempunyai kesediaan terhadap sesuatu matapelajaran yang akan diajar. Kajian yang dijalankan oleh Attan & Mohd Hamzah (2007), kesediaan guru merupakan elemen penting dan memainkan peranan dalam membantu pelajar menyesuaikan diri dalam suasana dan kaedah pembelajaran baru serta didedahkan dengan penggunaan teknologi baru. Kajian ini diharap dapat memberi gambaran jelas khususnya kepada pensyarah untuk melihat sejauh mana kesediaan yang perlu ada pada diri mereka dalam menggunakan platform MOOC di politeknik.
