Abstract
As Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have emerged as a promising educational phenomenon over the last decade, a number of MOOCs have attracted thousands of learners. While MOOCs are shown to address the issues of educational access and social justice, they are also criticized as a new form of cultural imperialism because MOOC material and instructions do not allow much individual, regional, and cultural differences to blend in. Unlike the existing essays in the field of MOOCs, the purpose of this theoretical paper is to address the issues of MOOC material and instructional design from a philosophical approach. Particularly, I will examine Maxine Greene’s philosophy on teaching and learning as a foundation to address issues of globalization in MOOC material design. I will also propose how her philosophy can be used to explain and alleviate this challenge.
