In line with the national level MOOC initiative, UPM is also preparing "Islamic Civilization and Asian Civilization" (TITAS), a compulsory course for all public universities on to be offered as a MOOC course and this initiative will benefit in-campus students, as well as interested public communities. This new platform of learning is also in line with the current National Higher Education Strategic Plan which emphasizes life-long learning, e-Learning, internationalization and knowledge transfer.  The development of PutraMOOC learning environment began its journey since November 2013, holding on to five main principles namely "Open Access, Equal Opportunity", "Small Idea, Big Impact", "Local University, Global Community", "Enriching Learning Experience" and above all, UPM's main principle, "With Knowledge, We serve". UPM is planning to expand its PutraMOOC's role in spearheading the university's Agriculture agenda through collaboration with Asian Association of Agricultural Colleges and Universities (AAACU), offering agriculture related courses to reach out the global communities via the new learning environment.
