teaching and learning, the new invention which is totally different from
the process of one finding a teacher standing in front of the

any person who intends to take a course with no limit on attending
classes, meaning study at home courses.

9. MY COURSE OF INTEREST
Language (Home language), prepared and unprepared speech.
I get excited when it comes to having your voice being heard in public that is why I
enrolled in the MOOC of courser called; ‘Introduction to public speaking’. I also as a
future teacher is hoping to gain some knowledge on how to master public speaking
speech thus this is done a lot in the teaching filed. The three aspects that I like for me
and the others to perfect is the voice tone, confidence and posture. I also want to
learn how has language influence our way of living as humans, to make my learners
aware and understand the whole process of speaking.

10. WHAT HAVE I LEARNED FROM MOOC?
• I have gained knowledge that MOOC promotes the everything that has been done and remixes the
information or resources.
• MOOCs reveals the intelligence in one’s creativity.
• The model is open for everyone to register and get connected with the new technology of learning.
• A student can not fuss over a class been missed because MOOC it does not run by time.
• MOOC involvement brings flexibility in one being able to interact with public services and be able to
sort their own stuff online without consulting anyone face to face.
• One can also be able to make money out of MOOC, by helping online for instance online tutoring, be
able to get a learnership or sponsor through online.
