Massive Open Online Courseware (MOOC) offers a new alternative for learning and it has been widely accepted especially in many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This study critically reviewed MOOC acceptance and uses from the perspective of the Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2). This paper highlighted about background of MOOC, MOOC acceptance and use in HEIs, model of acceptance and use, UTAUT2 model, suggestions for future work, and conclusion. Based on the review, an interactive learning framework will be designed to support the teaching and learning processes among students and lecturers that provide an engaging and meaningful learning experience. It provides significant implications to improve and understand the acceptance and use of technology. Moreover, this study makes a significant contribution by giving suggestions for future work by using UTAUT2 with other variables and extends the theory with the integration of other latest technological advancements. Thus, indirectly the research can provide theoretical contributions in the field of education and information systems.
