1. Executive Summary
Global Online Learners Community
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp_jN6-yV5I&feature=youtu.be) is
a website for students who are simultaneously enrolled in several online
courses, both general as well as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
The website helps global online course students spread across different
time zones and accessing different platforms to effortlessly
communicate, collaborate, submit assignments and meet deadlines.

their courses. GlobalLearnersCommunity.com is a one stop destination
for information on all available online courses with regularly updated
news and research around e-learning. Global Online Learners
Community will provide a mobile and online platform for forum
discussions and interactive chats by students. Further, it will supply tools
for effective collaboration, sharing, storing and submission of individual
as well as group assignments.
