MOOC 2.0: Remarkable Progress in Teacher Course Completion — A Milestone for SCERT Uttarakhand

The latest data from the UK e-Srijan September 2025 Dashboard reflects an inspiring success story of MOOC 2.0, an online professional development course for teachers that opened in October 2025 and will remain open until 31 December 2025 (First Round). The progress achieved so far demonstrates not only teachers’ commitment to continuous learning but also the strong academic and technological leadership of SCERT Uttarakhand and its IT Department.


Key Highlights from the Dashboard (Refresh Date: 17-12-2025)

The numbers speak for themselves:

  • Total Teachers Registered: 49,200

  • Teachers Who Completed the Course: 46,876 (95.28%)

  • Teachers Who Downloaded Certificates: 46,849 (95.22%)

In terms of institutional participation:

  • School Participation Rate: 97.22%

  • Teacher Participation Rate: 84.91%

These figures reflect one of the highest completion and certification rates seen in large-scale online teacher training programmes in the state.

A Great Achievement for SCERT Uttarakhand

Achieving over 95% course completion in a statewide MOOC is a significant milestone. It highlights:

  • Teachers’ growing digital readiness and motivation

  • Effective course design, mentoring, and monitoring

  • Robust technical infrastructure and dashboard-based tracking

  • Continuous academic support by SCERT and the IT Department

This success reinforces the trust teachers place in SCERT-led initiatives and validates the relevance of the course content to classroom realities.

Why MOOC 2.0 Worked

MOOC 2.0 focused on practical, classroom-orientated learning, enabling teachers to:

  • Align learning with NEP 2020

  • Integrate ICT tools into daily teaching practices

  • Improve lesson planning, assessment, and documentation

  • Enhance professional confidence through certified learning

The ease of access, flexibility of timelines, and real-world applicability ensured sustained engagement throughout the course duration.

Encouraged by the overwhelming response and success of the first round, the SCERT Uttarakhand IT Department is now well-positioned to launch the Second MOOC 2.0, focusing on:

  • ICT Integration in Classroom Teaching Plans

  • Digital Tools for School Administration

  • Evidence-based Teaching Practices

  • Technology-enabled Assessment and Monitoring

This next phase will further strengthen teachers’ capacity to use technology not just as a tool, but as a pedagogical partner in teaching and school management.

MOOC 2.0 has emerged as a benchmark initiative in online teacher professional development. With the first round nearing completion by December 31, 2025, the program stands as a testament to what visionary planning, data-driven execution, and teacher dedication can achieve together.

SCERT Uttarakhand’s success sets a powerful example for other states—showing that large-scale, high-quality, technology-enabled teacher training is not only possible but highly impactful.

Congratulations to all teachers, academic teams, and the SCERT IT Department for this outstanding achievement!
