MOOC (Massive Open Online Course)
An online educational program that is intended to be accessible to many students worldwide is referred to as a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). Most of the time, well-known universities, educational institutions, or online learning platforms offer MOOCs. They offer courses in a wide range of fields, including business, technology, the arts, and the sciences, for free or at a reasonable cost.
Scalability and openness are two of a MOOC‘s most important features. MOOCs are made to accommodate a lot of people, often thousands or even tens of thousands. Course materials like video lectures, readings, quizzes, and discussion forums are delivered via online platforms. Students can study at their own pace and at their own convenience thanks to MOOCs‘ flexibility in terms of access times and locations.
Due to their accessibility, affordability, and the opportunity to learn from renowned experts in a variety of fields, MOOCs have gained popularity. MOOCs give students from all over the world access to high-quality educational resources that were previously only available in conventional educational settings. Through online forums and one-on-one interactions, MOOCs also provide opportunities for networking and collaboration with other students.
