Abstract	Effectiveness in eLearning is identified as meeting the users' learning goals. It has been the subject of many researches which have led to a variety of dimensions and factors affecting it. However with the latest disruption of educational technology, MOOC has changed the perceptions of eLearning by taking eLearning to a new direction. Hence effectiveness dimensions & factors revealed before the introduction of MOOC required revising in order to cater to the new demands of eLearning in MOOC. At the same time there are many MOOC platforms introduced to the market leading to a potential issue of quality as not all the MOOCs provide effective results. Users are required to identify the effectiveness of MOOC. In searching for the solution to above problem, our research revealed a 10 dimensional framework for analyzing the effectiveness of eLearning in MOOC. Those are namely interactivity, pedagogy, collaboration, usability, network of opportunity, motivation, technology, content, support for learner and assessment. The framework was built using an instrument and tested with a sample size of 121 MOOC participants. Empirical results demonstrated that the instrument is within the acceptable range of verification and validation values. Therefore the 10 dimensional effectiveness framework assists as a benchmark for MOOC stakeholders.
