<\/a>Gone are the days of going to class, making notes and spending hours in a library.\u00a0Today you can do almost everything online – even relive your student days. MOOCs, or “massive open online courses”,\u00a0have been around for a while now, but are still extremely popular – and for a reason.<\/p>\nA MOOC is an online course aimed at large scale, interactive participation and open access via the internet. In addition to traditional course material such as videos, reading and problem sets, a community is created for students and academics to interact be means of user forums.<\/p>\n
Open, online courses are a fairly\u00a0recent\u00a0addition to the field of long distance education and offer a free or low cost alternative to conventional tertiary education – an option previously not freely available to all.\u00a0Leading universities such as Stanford, MIT, Yale and Harvard offer MOOCs as part of their curriculum and these provide anyone the opportunity to study at a prominent academic institution.<\/p>\n
MOOCs have no formal entry requirements or limits on students and millions of eager learners make use of this open platform.\u00a0\u00a0Coursera<\/em>, the current forerunner of MOOCs, claims they already have more than 3 million students.<\/p>\n If you’re interested in expanding your knowledge – whether it’s with something as random as a course on cryptography or a more practical one such as financial planning, have a look at the available courses on the websites below. You’re sure to find something that inspires you.<\/p>\n Also read MOOC News and Reviews’ extensive article <\/a>on MOOCs, “What is a Massive Open Online Course Anyway?” and have a look at extensive TED talks also has an extensive list of talks<\/a> on MOOCS.<\/p>\n MOOC-COURSES<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/ [SOURCE: www.wikipedia.org]<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n `n MOOC\u00a0is `n aanlynkursus wat gemik is op grootskaalse, interaktiewe deelname en oop toegang deur middel van die internet. Buiten tradisionele kursusmateriaal soos videos, leeswerk en vraagstukke, word `n gemeenskap gebou vir studente en akademici met die hulp van interaktiewe gebruikerforums.\u00a0<\/p>\n Oop, aanlyn kursusse \u00a0is `n onlangse\u00a0toevoeging tot afstandsonderrig en bied `n gratis of lae koste alternatief tot konvensionele tersi\u00eare onderrig wat voorheen nie vrylik aan almal beskikbaar was nie. Toonaangewende universiteite soos Stanford, MIT, Yale en Harvard bied reeds MOOCs aan en \u00a0gee aan enigiemand die geleentheid om te studeer aan `n voortreflike akademiese instansie.<\/p>\n MOOCs het geen formele toelatingsvereistes of beperking op inskrywings nie en miljoene leergieriges maak reeds gebruik van di\u00e9 oop platform.\u00a0Coursera, die huidige voorloper vir MOOCs, beweer dat hulle reeds meer as 3 miljoen gebruikers het. \u00a0<\/p>\n As jy belangstel daarin om jou kennis te verbreed – of dit nou iets lukraak is soos `n kursus oor kriptopgrafie of meer prakties soos finansi\u00eble beplanning, loer gerus na die webwerwe onder. Daar sal sonder twyfel iets wees wat jou belangstelling aanwakker.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Lees ook MOOC News and Reviews<\/em> se gedetaileerde artikel\u00a0<\/a>oor\u00a0MOOCs, “What is a Massive Open Online Course Anyway?”.
