MOOC

So what is MOOC?

MOOC or also known as Massive Open Online Courses are free online courses that anyone can take. MOOC offer an affordable and flexible way to learn new skills, advance your career, and deliver high-quality educational experiences at scale. Millions of people around the world use MOOC to learn for a variety of reasons, including career development, changing careers, college preparations, supplemental learning, lifelong learning, corporate eLearning & training.

Lectures, videos, reading materials, and frequently feedback on interactive forums are all used in the teaching process. This promotes user engagement and allows you to review and provide feedback on the course work of other participants. Some courses also permit the dynamic production of course materials, which may be advantageous if you are engaged in a project that is particularly interesting to you. Perhaps you are creating your own website and need to improve it with some interactive user components. As a result, the course material is created through online cooperation between students from all over the world, rather than having pre-planned reading assignments. In a manner, you build as you go, and it's a terrific opportunity to meet other students.
