Abstract :
In the recent years the concept of distant learning and online courses has gained great popularity. MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) is the new trend on the Internet and has rapidly gained much popularity. MOOC allows learners from all over the world to learn in a connected way and in unprecedented scale. MOOC can prove to be a great helping hand in a country like India with more than five thousand engineering colleges [1]. These are gaining huge attention from students all over the globe. These MOOC are acting as a revolution in the field of education. Collective learning and massive involvement of individuals are the key features that make MOOC impactful. Offering of such courses by elite universities lure the individuals to get registered for these courses. This paper aims to propose a model for Indian education system using BLMM [15] as a base for the improvement. Thus it will first describe the general scenario of MOOCs in India and later will propose three level implementation models for Indian education system.
