MY INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES:

 Choose MOOCs that will contribute to one’s own professional development
 Explain how MOOCs can be a tool for lifelong learning

Massive Open On-Line Courses (COOCs) are online courses open to a big group of people. Below are the basic
information about MOOCS. Let us focus on each word:

Massive

students that can fit a regular classroom. There can be hundreds or even be a thousand students or more.

Open

 Course can be accessed by anyone anywhere as long as they have internet connection
 Courses are open to everyone without entry qualifications
 Some courses are for free

 Facilitation interaction among peers. Builds a learning community through opportunities to interact
 Some interaction with the teacher or academic staff
 Activities/tasks, tests, including feedback. Participants are provided with some feedback mechanism. Can
be automatically generated like quizzes, feedback from peers or the teacher.

certificate of completion. A formal certificate is optional and most likely has to be paid for.
 A study guide/syllabus. This includes instructions as to how you may learn from the materials and
interactions presented.
