The document defines MOOCs as massive open online courses that help engage students in learning through ICT. There are two types of MOOCs: C-MOOCs which are built on open platforms and X-MOOCs which improve open courseware. MOOCs were founded in 2008 at the University of Prince Edward Island. They provide advantages like allowing flexible content and teaching methods through technologies like social networks. The presenter plans to focus on using X-MOOCs to teach languages online by uploading books and creating a communication page. Specific language topics that can be taught online include grammar, dictionaries, essay writing, and cartoons.
