Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have triggered the innovations of pedagogies and learning methods in all levels of education. In addition to distance education, e-Learning is expected to improve classroom teaching through educational tools and digital content in various blended approaches; Mobile devices and SNS showed the new content distribution and knowledge sharing in learner communities; MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) expanded the opportunities of quality education on a global level. This paper discusses the Japanese practices in which MOOCs acted as catalysts implementing component technologies and development strategies for e-Learning.
