Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) since its launch provides a wide selection of courses and learning modules. Openlearning.com said that more than 4000 MOOC from around the world, making it a very needed to get knowledge in addition to the traditional class or formal education. This is a growing number of MOOC which means that the mass has a passion for studying a variety of subjects’ virtual ways with their own levels and comforts. Although this amount is increasing, there is also concern that not all subjects and skills can be delivered and taught online. Like many language subjects, Basic Statistics and Probability is a challenging course for teaching and learning. This is because certain skills requiring ongoing guidance on how to provide the best teaching. Hence, Basic Statistics and Probability course has been created to provide knowledge and skills to teach fundamental of statistics and probability briefly, convenient, and effectively, according to MOOC’s requirements. This course is unique as its modules are organized for the first time to dominate the basic skills required in statistics and probability, then introduce the relevant tasks, and steps in ensuring the performance of the Basic Statistics and Probability verbally and in writing are effective. Presentation of this course promotes a smooth transition from understanding and using the basic skills to transfer these skills into reading, writing, and speaking about basic statistics and probability. It is hoped that ten (10) modules designed specifically help students to understand Basic Statistics and Probability faster and more effective. Basic Statistics and Probability course have the potential to become important in the teaching material at pre-university and University and to provide Statistics and Probability skills required for university students to implement the academic practice.

Social insurance programmes differ from private insurance in several ways. Firstly, the contributions are normally compulsory and may be made by the insured's employer, by the state, as well as by the insured himself. Benefits are also not as strictly tied to contributions as is the case with private insurance. For example, to make the programmes serve certain social purposes, some contributors are included among the beneficiaries even though they may not have contributed for the required period of time. Next, benefits may be increased in response to the rising cost of living, which reduce the amount between contributions and benefits. The main objective of this study is to discuss and describe the current issues and challenges of social insurance qualitatively.This method provides an overview of further understanding pertaining to the phenomena faced by Social Security Organisation (SOCSO) as administer social insurance in Malaysia.

The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is a new online learning platform that provides training beyond the classroom based on casual and social learning. Current learning methods that use PowerPoint slides usually bore students who would easily lose focus on their learning. MOOCs provide a new era of learning style with various learning methods. Using attractive notes with the aid of video, animation, and a variety of activities to promote a better learning environment adaptively. It is accessible anytime, anywhere, and gives flexibility to students in managing their learning routine. Therefore, UiTM Perak (Tapah Campus) has taken an initiative to implement MOOCs in one of the diploma subjects which is “Introduction to Actuarial Mathematics” (ASC305). Actuarial Mathematics is a subject taught under the actuarial science program in preparation for the professional actuarial examination under the Society of Actuaries (SOA), as well as getting students to understand the actuarial aspects of the current life insurance system. On top of that, this MOOC has encouraged worldwide participants where one will have experience in practicing their fundamental knowledge on each topic. The real-time communication between the instructor and participants for knowledge sharing, brainstorming, and exchanging opinions create a positive ambiance of "classroom-beyond-borders". Using MOOCs for the course opens great opportunities for instructors to be creatively and innovatively involved in preparing attractive content, learning activities, and hands-on assessments that suit all learning styles (auditory, visual, reading and writing, and kinesthetics). Thus, this paper illustrates and describes the development of Introduction to Actuarial Mathematics using MOOCs (https://ufuture.uitm.edu.my/courses/summary/ASC305).
