    MOOC was first created in 2008 and gained popularity in 2012 when an artificial intelligence course had over 1.6 million students. There are two types of MOOCs: cMOOC which allows dynamic development of materials through online discussions, and xMOOC which uses a structured approach with pre-selected materials. MOOCs offer free courses from top universities and allow monitoring of learner performance, but they cannot provide personalized attention or track student participation like traditional courses. Despite some limitations, MOOCs have potential to change education by providing a flexible, interactive learning platform at a global scale.

    “IMPACT OF MOOC”

    MOOC was first launched in 2008 and was created by George Siemens and
    Stephen Downs under the name "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge/2008" or
    CCK08. It was created as a credit course at the University of Manitoba. At CCK08, 25
    students paid the course fees, and approximately 2,200 learners participated in the
    course for free. MOOC really took off in 2012, when Professor Sebastian Thrun and Peter
    Norvig of Stanford University opened an online course called "Introduction to Artificial
    Intelligence". The course was attended by approximately 1,600,000 students from 190
    countries. After successful introduction to artificial intelligence, Thrun and Nrovig
    founded Udacity, a business model for online knowledge sharing. There are some other
    MOOC providers, including Coursera and EdX. A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)
    is an online course that allows participants to have free access and unrestricted
    participation in any course of their choice. In addition to traditional teaching methods
    such as lectures, videos and reading materials; MOOC also provides an interactive
    forum platform.

    MOOC is further divided into two categories-cMOOC and xMOOC. cMOOC


    is a MOOC that allows dynamic development of learning materials. In other words, the
    material will be developed through online discussions and collaborations among
    learners participating in courses around the world, rather than a pre-planned set of
    reading materials and courseware. On the other hand, xMOOCs believe in the
    traditional approach, that is, the course is well structured, with pre-selected reading
    materials and reference materials. MOOC allows us to keep up with changes in
    technology-enhanced learning and innovative pedagogy to meet our strategic goals
    of designing and providing the best campus and online education experience. Courses
    are provided for free, and you can access courses offered by professors from top
    schools. The courses are aimed at a wide and diverse audience around the world. You
    can easily monitor the performance of learners using the data captured at the
    beginning of the course. Professors and learners have gained worldwide exposure,
    which improves teaching skills and knowledge sharing, can be used as a tool in
    blended learning programs, and students can access more than what is provided in
    the classroom More information. The disadvantage of MOOC is that it cannot provide
    personalized courseware and the attention of tutors, and it is difficult to track students'
    work and participation. Disabled learners and students with poor Internet connection
    cannot use MOOC. Language may be a barrier. At the same time, MOOCs and
    MOOCs cannot be used. University credit courses.

    Despite some shortcomings, MOOC has great potential to reshape the way
    we learn. It is a customized e-learning method that encourages self-paced learning
    and focuses on the skills the learner wishes to hone. Provide a platform for interactive
    forums. It is also one of the custom e-learning methods that encourage self-paced
    learning, which still focuses on the skills the learner wishes to hone. It will be interesting to
    see how they progress and grow over time!
