Nowadays, after every year new disruptive technologies are emerging day-by-day.These disruptive technologies have fundamentally changed the way we used to do things. Internet, mobile phones and Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are all the examples of disruptive technologies. With the advent of Internet, institutions havechanged their way of communicationfrom paper memos to email. Mobile phones have made usage of landlines redundant; and they are not only used for making simple calls rather used for many other things like teleconferencing, video conferencing, connecting people on social networking sites etc. Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) have made the institutions realise that technologies are an essential part of education. VLEs deliver the learning material to the students over the web.This enables the institutions to teach those students who cannot regularly visit the campus and where teachers upload content over the web and enable the students to communicate and collaborate via tools such as blogs, wikis and forums etc. The latest technology in the line of disruptive technologies is Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The MOOCs are small private online courses in higher education where the learning content is provided to the students online and there is no limit on the attendance.
