What are MOOCs?
Written by Dhawal Shah | Last updated on July 20th, 2024
“MOOC” stands for Massive Open Online Course. Usually these online courses are taught by universities all around the world (e.g. Stanford, Princeton, UC San Diego, Yonsei University, Leiden University, and over 1200 other such universities). Other MOOCs are made by companies, like Google or Microsoft.
They are available to anyone with an internet connection. Some of the popular MOOC providers include Coursera, edX, Udacity, and FutureLearn. They partner with universities, companies, and professors to provide MOOCs.
