Abstract
This paper focuses on the limited literature pertaining to robotics MOOCs
within the STEM MOOC domain. This study provides a subset of an ongoing,
more extensive systematic review of the recent advances with MOOCs to
advance STEM education and engagement. The purpose of this study is to
identify and discuss the place and role of robotics (as a subset of STEM)
MOOCs in an open distance e-learning institution of higher education. The
study provides insights into the research gaps existing in (1) literature, and
(2) the domain of STEM MOOCs for robotics education and STEM
engagement. The place and role of STEM MOOCs for the advancement of
robotics within an open distance e-learning institution provide a practical and
sustainable solution to science engagement in these times of Covid.
