The interactive and flexible nature of the MOOC platform facilitated a more engaging learning experience, accommodating diverse learning styles and schedules. In conclusion, the MOOC demonstrates the transformative potential of MOOCs in Malaysian higher education, particularly in the field of Quantity Surveying. By enhancing the accessibility and quality of education, MOOCs can play a crucial role in supporting lifelong learning and professional development. The findings advocate for continued investment in digital infrastructure and learner support to overcome existing challenges and maximize the benefits of MOOCs in higher education.
