college with thousands of students. It is a really great online college because 33 of the best universities are partnering up with MOOC on some of its courses. Not only is it large in the United States, but it is worldwide! It’s just like any other college with due dates on assignments and being able to have study groups, but it just seems to be better. All you need is an internet connection and you’re all set.

The MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Courses. These are online college courses that are very different from traditional college classes. There is no tuition and they are open to everyone. You do not have to apply for it, just simply make an account and you're in the class. There are a variety of courses that you can take and the instructor posts lectures that are only about 8-10 minutes long. For students that learn at a faster or slower rate, there are tools that you can use to change the speed of the lectures.

The MOOC is a school online no coast. Online school is not as good as going in to a building and paying a fine just for a education. School may be important but you should not have to pay. Online schooling you have pour hours and not the teachers and you can stay in bed to get online.

The mooc is a online class. With no charge at all . why don't you just drive to your college. And sit down in your class ? And. Not sit at home on your couch with a laptop on hour lap learning something you don't really understand that you would understand if you were there to be able to ask questions.

In the reading about the MOOC, I have learned that it is a online college system. I would take this course because if I am sick I can still go to school. I wouldn't have to worry about getting in trouble for being out. I wouldn't really have a lot of makeup work to do and I can on my own schedule.

The MOOC is a massive online open college. Its pretty much an online college for people who can't afford to go to a real college. Its for people who's schedule is just too busy to go to an actual college. But the MOOC can also be for people who can learn better taking the online courses. The MOOC is not a college for me! Because I learn better when I'm actually doing something like I'm actually there at the college. But there are other people who can learn better while taking an online college course. But I don't cause it just easier for me to learn while being there. And that's what I think the MOOC is, and that's why I wouldn't good in the MOOC program...

A MOOC is a Massive Open Online Course. It is a substitute for traditional college courses. Some people do not have the time or money to go to a college and go to different classes. That is why the MOOC was made, it is free, online, and massive. Colleges are very costly, require credits, and are limited to a few dozen to make sure that there is still interaction between the student and the teacher but MOOCs have electronic feedback and no interaction with the teacher.

A MOOC is an massively open online course. These things are huge college courses. You can have anywhere from 400 to 10,000 people in one class. Although there are reasons why and why not this would work with me. One reasons these wouldn't work is because I like to actually be able to ask questions. Having such big classes would prevent this. Also, not to mention it is online.

The MOOC is a great option for many students looking for an online education. Depending on what type of learner you are. Visual, physical, or even one on one teacher help. Visual and sometimes physical are compatible with MOOC classes. The reason for this is because the MOOC teachers have thousands of students due to being an online college. So consider what is best for you prior to applying to MOOC.

The MOOC would be good for me because i can set my own class schedule and i dont have to go to the class and pay alot of money for a class that i have to go to. Also its a good program because i dont have to try to be on time for class i have to go to, but i still have to study and do my work because if i forget about the class i cant make the work up.

But, thats the only help you're really going to get.

The MOOC is a online college course that you can take besides going to college and also you it can also be a great thing or at the same time it can also be a terrible thing because you can just sit at you home and you can stay in your comfort zone and also it is free. But at the same time it is a bad thing because you aren't hands on and like the instructor is not there full time so if you have any questions then you might have to wait a while before you can get the answer to the question about your class and also it might not be the best thing for you to do.

The MOOC is a company who creates a series of online courses to offer skills to their students. Although it does not offer actual college credits , it can prepare you for your next career quite easily. Even though this online system is used quite widely across the globe , it does have a few drawbacks to some students. I , in particular , do not prefer these courses due to several reasons. One specific reason is that the teachers can not always talk to their pupils one-on-one. Without the much needed help , it is easy to fall behind , especially if you are confused about a certain thing. It could limit your learning by quite a bit.

The downsides are it's credit less, sometimes time consuming, and the instructor isn't always available. You get the best of both worlds!

The MOOC is the Massive Open Online Course. Or in other words, an online college course which allows students world wide to sign up and take advanced classes online. It benefits a lot of students, especially ones who need to go at a slower pace. However, there is some disadvantages considering it's world wide, the server can crash due to how many students log on at a time. Or, since it's world wide - you could get stuck in a classroom full of other students speaking a different language and you wouldn't know a lick of what they're saying! The MOOC is a great choice for most students, but in my opinion....it wouldn't work out for someone such as myself. The reasons I dislike the MOOC would be; that the teacher can't quickly reach you when you need a response right away, you can give into the temptation of copying work (without the teacher even knowing as they aren't right there with you), and it's not a great choice for a hands on learner.
