Use of technology in engineering -
MOOCs
Wikipedia definition: “A Massive Open Online
Course is an online course aimed at unlimited
participation and open access via the web. In
addition to traditional course materials such as
videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs
provide interactive user forums that help build a
community for students, professors, and teaching
assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent
development in distance education which began to
emerge in 2012.”
