MOOC I can use for interacting with
learners is xMOOC. It will provide
learners with an opportunity to reflect on
lessons and share opinions on ideas
that came about in lessons.

10.  Learners will be able to argue about
different social ill, for instance, poverty in
their communities, HIV and AIDS, crime,
just to name a few. This will help raise
arguments and debates in class thus the
information shared will help with the
brainstorming of ideas for their essays.
