4. MOOCs Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs , are online courses that allow participants free access and unrestricted participation to any course of their choice. MOOCs also provide a platform for interactive forums. It is also one of the custom eLearning methodologies that encourages self-paced learning which remains focused on the skills that the learners wish to hone. Although MOOCs don’t always provide an academic credit, they give students a useful grounding in the subject matter and may provide necessary background for further education or certification. The word MOOC was coined in 2008 by Dave Cormier from the University of Prince Edward Island for a course offered by the University of Manitoba “Connectivism and Connective Knowledge”. There were 25 tuition-paying students from University and 2,300non-paying students from the general public who took the course online. In 2011, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) OpenCourseWare(OCW) became the first large collections of MOOC resources made available by the University. In 2012 MIT and Harvard spearheaded the edX initiative for the promotion of MOOCs.
