I will choose cMOOC, c stand for
connectivist.• cMOOC, learners are encouraged to contribute actively, using these digital platforms.
Participants’ contributions in form of blog posts.so, in mathematitics learners needs to
be logistic.
• cMOOCs are also not typically sponsored or funded by higher education institutions but

learners to be passionate about maths.
• Organizers commit their time to create a framework for learning where participants
