This document discusses MOOCs and different types of course designs. It notes that MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses, come in two main varieties - cMOOCs which emphasize community and connections, and xMOOCs which focus more on traditional learning through video lectures and automated grading. The document also presents some alternative course design models that allow for more flexible outcomes and paths depending on students' individual goals.
