What Teachers Need to Know about MOOCs

 MOOCs  are online courses aimed at large-scale participation and open (free) access via the internet. They are similar to university courses, but do not tend to offer academic credit. MOOCs offer  college based education to empower interested students who lack access to elite universities with the sophisticated skills necessary for good paying jobs and without having to spend a dime on tuition.
