چکیده
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offer a great opportunity for learners to enjoy learning despite their location or timing. Nevertheless, motives vary between each student and another. In this workshop paper, we are delighted to open discussions on why undergraduates may enroll in their university’s MOOCs? Are they looking for ECTS points? Or do they want to build a stronger background in their classes? We support answers to these questions using the Cryer scheme of Elton. Expected debates will summarize student motives in blended learning.
