In today's Internet ridden world e-learning is
one of the crucial parts of modern education. This way of
learning is surprisingly diverse but shares a predictable
common denominator. Technology’s transformative
power enables learning interactions that might
otherwise be impossible for students and teachers alike.
Coursera.com is a fast growing MOOC (Massive Open
Online Course) provider empowering students and
educators, and enables learners to create an interactive
platform. In this study, we will discuss the course
“Shaping the Way we Teach English” which has brought
enthusiasm among passionate English teachers. This
paper will highlight how the flexibility of this course
paves the way for collaborating with the online and
offline teaching and learning community with the
experience of digital learning. Furthermore, it also
examines how the learners are adapting to the digital
platform, the challenges they face, and how they are
overcoming the obstacles.
