Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)?
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a mechanism of mass
dissemination of information through an internet-based educational course
to potentially very large and (internationally) distributed groups of learners.
MOOCs engage thousands of students without geographic bounds
simultaneously in an internet-based, virtual education and socialization
experience.
- Maxwell, et al (2016)
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is a free Web-based
distance learning program that is designed for the participation
of large numbers of geographically dispersed students.

MOOCs Modules
• cMOOCs: CMOOCs is also known as connectivist module, which
was originated in 2008 at the University of Manitoba by Stephen Downes
and George Siemens, and in which online communities form around a
subject of mutual interest, typically outside traditional educational
contexts.
- Collaborative Participation in Social Network Sites
• xMOOCs: xMOOCs are based on a more traditional classroom structure:
They are a combination of pre-recorded video lecture with quizzes, tests,
or other assessments. xMOOCs are centered around a professor rather
than around a community of students.
Example: edX, Coursera and Udacity etc.,
