This research paper investigates the readiness of students to opt for MOOC courses in universities offering a joint master degree international program. A study is conducted on two joint academic study programs offered by the University of Hasselt in Belgium and Princess Sumaya University for Technology in Jordan. The study examines the readiness of students to take MOOC courses and their acceptance by universities' management staff and professors. The study reveals promising results as they suggest that such virtual study programs are readily accepted in both universities by professors and students, though management staff and some professors expressed concerns on the approval of the equivalence of a MOOC onto courses. A flipping microlearning class-learning model is proposed as the future excellent educational model, creating the flexibility for the students to study courses or on distance or on campus. MOOCs have been found a suitable option for delivering learning content online.

Today's world is powered by advance technologies and mobile technology has become part of our daily lives. However, the usage of mobile device by children is usually for playing games, watching videos or listening to music and therefore has not been properly utilised by children to achieve educational goals. Through education, children can gain knowledge and skills that they need in their lives. Early childhood education is important because it can lead them to a better future. Edutainment is one of the popular methods to engage children in learning and this research explores the requirement of 3D aided augmented reality (AR) mobile app dictionary for children. The study is based on studying the existing popular augmented reality applications related to researches as well as conduct a questionnaire involving parents and teachers who interact with children. According to the result collected in this research, it is found that the proposed requirement will allow children to use mobile device in more effective and fun ways.

Because educational games increasingly find their way into the classroom, we aim at outlining potentials but also limitations of game-based learning. First, we compile widely acknowledged benefits, like the ability of learning games to engage and meet the learner's situation. Moreover, we argue that the reduced use of games for learning in higher education does not seem warranted. We propose a three-dimensional framework that highlights the potential of adaptive game-based learning to catalyse the learning process by addressing cognitive, emotional and social factors of the learner and characteristics of the respective learning environment. We emphasise mandatory considerations like the inability of 'serious games' to replace but complement and enhance traditional educational approaches as well as the misunderstanding that the current generation has a 'native' understanding of technology. With adequate resources, theoretical frameworks, interdisciplinary competencies and clear goals, one can realise effective game-based learning that meets the requirements of modern education.
