MOOCs are massive open online courses available free online to large numbers of people. MOOCs first emerged in 2004 based on connectivist learning theories. One of the first MOOCs had over 2,200 learners in 2008. Major growth occurred in 2012 when Harvard's first MOOC had over 370,000 students registered and Coursera launched offering xMOOCs. There are two main types - cMOOCs focused on connectivist pedagogy and xMOOCs based on traditional course structures.

- MOOCs have a brief history, but the concept has become so popular that its use has spread throughout the world, both within academic circles and among independent learner groups. The MOOC model is based on the Connectivist learning theory, which demonstrates how learning occurs through connections with others. MOOCs throughout the Internet world have grown from the first in 2008 to a place five years later where there are MOOCs or facsimiles of MOOCs available on nearly every topic imaginable, with participants from around the globe. Last year the New York Times pronounced 2012 as the “Year of the MOOC” in education.
- Like most innovations, MOOCs have gone through various stages to reach their current rate of adoption. However, the sequence of events usually sees persuasion as the second stage. In the case of MOOCs, a decision to go forward with the model was made when the first MOOC was presented. Dave Cormier’s videos worked to persuade more development of MOOCs for the wider world. By 2012, MOOCs were offered in high enough numbers that it can be said confirmation stage has been achieved.
- Since the beginning of MOOCs, there have been many iterations of the model, with large universities offering what is now called an xMOOC, which is more closely aligned with traditional courses in its structure. These often use the more common professorial lecture in a larger scale than can be achieved in a classroom setting. cMOOCs, on the other hand, are open to knowledge sharing from ordinary participants as well as the course facilitators. Anyone with knowledge to share is welcome to do so. As you can see by the illustration, each letter in the acronym MOOC has been defined in different ways by different MOOC designers and users. We will look at the specifics of how MOOCs would work in the high school setting in a few minutes.
