• A course of study made available over the Internet without charge
to a very large number of people.

credits, they provide education that may enable certification,
employment or further studies.

6. Types of “MOOC”
xMOOC cMOOC
Appear to have developed out of the idea of Open Courseware and
Open Educational Resources. The "X" in X-MOOC doesn't stand for
anything specifically.
The term C-MOOC refers to a MOOC designed to emphasize
connecting learners.
But X-MOOCs are typically offered by a university in partnership
with a for profit organization.
C-MOOCs are built upon the idea and platform originally
envisioned
"X" standing for "Expert" because most of these MOOCs are taught
by relying on recorded experts at well known universities
C-MOOC stands for Connectives MOOC.
7. History of “MOOC”.
• The term MOOC was coined in 2008 by Dave Cormier at the University of
Prince Edward Island and Bryan Alexander of the National Institute for
Technology in Liberal Education in response to an open online course
designed and led by George Siemens at Athabasca University and
Stephen Downes at The National Research Council (Canada).
• The 2008 course was called "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge"
and was presented to 25 tuition fee-paying students in Extended
Education at the University of Manitoba in addition to 2,300 other
students from the general public who took the online class free of
charge.
