Massive Open Online Courses

Hello students! Do you know anything about MOOCs? If NO, this post is for you!

By the end of 2013, most top universities had started to offer some sort of MOOC (massive open online course). Now, we are starting to see the MOOC product move into both the corporate and the private realm.

There is no longer any excuse for not learning new skills. Everyone can learn new things and change their careers without leaving their home. It couldn't be easier! Here you can learn everything - both cooking and creating applications. And almost all courses are free.

If you are considering a MOOC for yourself or your organization, you’ll first need to determine which tool you will use to build the course.

FUTURE LEARN

If talking about language learning, I really love Language courses from Future Learn. Here you can not only learn a new language, but explore new cultures and discover work and travel opportunities. FutureLearn is owned by The Open University, a British-based university that has long specialized in distance education. FutureLearn partners with dozens of universities and cultural institutions around the world to provide courses. Courses contain video, audio and articles. Plus, discussion topics are meant to stimulate conversation between learners.

Most courses offer the option of learning for free or upgrading. If you learn for free, you have access to all the course material except for tests for the duration of the course plus two more weeks. If you upgrade, you have unlimited access to course materials during and after the course, have access to tests and receive a certificate upon completion.

Courses are usually six to ten weeks long and require two to five hours of work per week.

Most of the services are presented in the form of web applications, which can be used with an Internet connection and a web browser only. Thus, it is possible to access your data without being tied to one device, from anywhere in the world. I think most of you are familiar with some of the Google tools. It is difficult to find an Internet user who has never used Google search or watched Youtube videos. But it seems to me that not everyone knows that Google also offers a large number of other tools that can be effectively used in learning. They are all free, reliable, and easy to use. Google Drive is a data warehouse where you can place text, images, photos, audio, video, presentations, and so on.
