The rationale being that ‘students are exhausted in filling out forms.’ Some researchersare of the opinion: ‘questionnaire-fatigue’ will result in skewed data that may lead to faultyconclusions. Therefore the assessment data was collected in an indirect manner. The author delivered four content materials in four different modes.Topic 1 was delivered in the traditional Lecture Format. (Aural)Topic 2 utilized Power Point Slides and other Visual Aids. (Visual)Topic 3 was left for the students to read, write and submit their findings. (Reading & Writing)Topic 4 was handled like a laboratory, demonstration, group discussion, etc

The inclusion in accreditation criteria [1] and professional codes [2] providesan impetus for fostering ethical awareness and judgment. In a systematic literature reviewof engineering ethics education articles, Hess and Fore found that 65% of the interventionswere justified or motivated by ABET accreditation [3].

However, MOOC virtual environments presents unique challenges for bothinstructors and learners. One of these challenges is the lack of face-to-face interaction, whichaffects how learners engage with one another and with the instruction team. From aconstructivist perspective, this is problematic because social interaction and communication arevital to meaningful learning [1]. Communication is also necessary for instructors to answerquestions, clarify concepts, and guide learners through their knowledge construction.In order to facilitate social interaction and communication, MOOCs often use discussion forumswhere learners can
