The document refers to the "finger" as a mythical instrument of power that humans are unaware of but can wield great influence. It describes the finger as a weapon that can decide the fate of countries or be used to blame others. The finger is said to be flexible and can be used to signal approval or disapproval through various gestures. All humans have five fingers that form a universal language of non-verbal communication through different finger positions.
Do you love learning? Why not try a MOOC?MarianRead
As the number of MOOC learners reached 25 million, from 2012 to April 2015 across all MOOC platforms, much is known about their demographics, interaction with courses and the academic, professional and leisure benefits gained through their participation. Potential learners may consider joining the MOOC trend if they know a little more about fellow MOOC learners and about the courses and platforms. Current learners are already highly educated, mainly based in OECD countries, and motivated by their interest in learning something new. While currently only 12% of learners are over 55 years old, MOOCs offer older people an opportunity for free leisure lifelong learning, which can contribute to healthy ageing strategies, important to both individuals and society in general, particularly relevant in OECD countries given the ageing trend in population demographics. A small percentage of learners, who watch at least one video, complete the course and gain a certificate. Although representing a small percentage, in actual numbers certificate achievers are already a million learners from over 200 countries. In addition to learning something new, learners also derive academic and employment benefits, according to studies of certificate achievers. Learners who participate in MOOCs, however, face challenges in obtaining recognition from higher education institutions, employers or professional bodies for the course credential they receive. Access is another challenge MOOC learners face.
