Massive online open courses
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses that are aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. The first MOOC was developed in 2008 and allowed thousands of students to enroll. While MOOCs are free to participate in, they may have some disadvantages like a lack of face-to-face interaction and technical problems. MOOCs can be relevant for high school students by providing an engaging online platform for teachers and students to share knowledge informally and work collaboratively.

MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. It is an online course that is open to unlimited participation and open access via the web. MOOCs first emerged in 2008 and have grown rapidly since then. There are two main types of MOOCs - cMOOCs which emphasize community connections, and xMOOCs which focus on acquiring a curriculum at scale. MOOCs can benefit English language learners by allowing repeated practice with feedback and incorporating audio elements.
MOOCs
A MOOC is a massive open online course that is run by many universities worldwide. Participants can engage with course material without completing assignments. The material is distributed across the web rather than in one central location. MOOCs can be used for standalone study of a subject or to supplement a course taken elsewhere. They offer flexibility and bring students from around the world together, but participants cannot earn credits and have high dropout rates due to simplified material and lack of interaction with professors.

This document provides information about an upcoming Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) called "Transforming Learning Disability Services". The MOOC is a partnership between several organizations including NHS England, ADASS, LGA, and CQC. It will take place over 14 modules from January to June 2017, with each module requiring less than an hour of learning per week. The MOOC is aimed at Transforming Care Partnerships and those working to improve care for people with learning disabilities or autism. It will cover various topics through video, readings, activities and live sessions. Participants will be able to provide feedback to help shape the course. The document encourages signing up and provides registration information.
MOOCs and future trends in Higher Ed
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOOCs) and other trends point to an open and digital future for higher education. Early MOOCs saw enormous enrollments, such as a course on artificial intelligence that had over 160,000 students enrolled. Major MOOC platforms now offer hundreds of free online courses from top universities. This proliferation of free online college courses could reshape higher education over the next decade as open educational resources, teaching, accreditation, and research expand.
Bisg
The document provides a brief history and overview of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It defines MOOCs as massive, open, online courses and notes that while early MOOCs focused on connecting networks of learners, more recent MOOCs emphasize curriculum and assessment like a traditional textbook. As an example, it discusses the University of Edinburgh offering six MOOCs on the Coursera platform that have attracted over 300,000 students since 2012. It also notes a tension between individual learner-centered and curated/distributed network models of MOOCs.

Moo cs
MOOCs are massive open online courses that are offered free online. They cover a wide range of subjects and are similar to university courses but do not typically offer academic credit. The purpose of MOOCs is to increase access to education and drive down costs while maximizing social and educational benefits. There are two main types of MOOCs: xMOOCs which focus on video lectures and cMOOCs which emphasize collaboration. While MOOCs increase access to education, completion rates tend to be low and they lack face-to-face interaction.

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. They provide filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets. MOOCs also offer interactive user forums to support community interactions. Well-known providers include Udacity, Coursera, edX, Peer 2 Peer University, and University of the People. While MOOCs increase access to education and provide lifelong learning opportunities, they also require self-directed learning and can be chaotic with high dropout rates if students are not self-regulated.
Why a MOOC?
This document discusses Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and provides details about some examples of MOOCs. It summarizes:

MOOCs are online courses that enable learning and teaching over the internet without requiring in-person classroom participation. MOOCs aim to provide open access to course content and transform learning for interested learners. The first MOOC was developed in 2004 and was called Connectivism and Connective Knowledge (CCK08). There are different types of MOOCs that offer varied structures and approaches to online learning, including cMOOCs, xMOOCs, connectivist MOOCs, adaptive MOOCs, social MOOCs, and group MOOCs. MOOCs provide benefits like free access to education, opportunities for global learning connections, and the ability to earn certificates online.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide unlimited free online courses from top universities worldwide. MOOCs can be accessed from any internet-connected device, allowing for flexible self-paced learning. They include videos, lecture notes, assessments, and opportunities for peer-to-peer learning. While MOOCs increase access to education, disadvantages include lack of interaction with instructors, high dropout rates due to lack of structure, and need for reliable internet access.
Academia and the MOOC
The New York Times said that 2012 was “the year of the MOOC”
EDUCAUSE said that they have “the potential to alter the relationship between learner and instructor and between academe and the wider community.”
Can a course where the participants and the course materials are distributed across the web and the courses are "open" and offered at no cost to a very large number of participants who do not receive institutional credit be a worthwhile venture for a college?

Massive Open Online Course: A Guide for Beginners
This book is written for educators who want to leverage on the open online courses to better themselves. This book serves as a guide for beginners who wish to explore the various platforms of MOOCs, namely Coursera, iversity, edX, ALISON, Canvas Network, Open Learning, Academic Earth, Future Learn, Peer to Peer University, Saylor.Org, and Udemy. There are two chapters that first introduce to the readers what MOOC is and how MOOC can serve as a medium of learning. Each chapter then starts by simply introducing the name of the MOOC platforms that follows with descriptions of the respective MOOC platforms. Readers will appreciate the inclusion of screenshots to ease their navigation in making the most out of the online resources. It is hoped that this book will provide a resource to advocate for the best possible ways to learn from the open world.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
