MOOCs are massive open online courses that help teachers and learners interact with experts on specific subjects through online platforms. MOOCs have existed since 2008 when the first one was created by Stephen Downs and George Siemens. There are two main types - cMOOCs which focus on informal networking and learning, and xMOOCs which have a more formal structure and assessment. The document discusses using different types of MOOCs depending on the context, with xMOOCs preferred for formal assessments and cMOOCs for discussions. The field of study is described as business studies, with topics like business environments and forms of ownership mentioned.
