Abstract

The global scenario has witnessed the revolutionary advances of open education, open educational resources, massive open online courses, and academic libraries. The paper aims to create awareness among the users about MOOCs and the stakeholders and academic libraries to understand the problems behind the gap. The current scenario in context with open education and MOOCs for the strengths, opportunities, fragility, and preparedness of trainers relates the potential of academic library contributions and rationality for open education MOOCs. The speculations and responses in the MOOCs training session are shared in the library's situation apart from information services, the library's roles, and trainers' demography, based upon the author's experiences during OE and MOOCs-related training workshop at JNU. The status of the open education movement in a developing country can show a different picture than developed nations.
