4. Types of moocs
cMOOCS – this type of mooc motivates learning through networking, it
promotes diversity were a learners and teacher can participate. It is not
strictly formal. It is more on informal learning
xMOOCS – this mooc also encourage different participants but has a designed
platform. This therefore means that this mooc is more formal than the other
and involves formal learning.

doing, for example if I am giving a formal assessment I will use xMOOCS and
for discussions I will use the cMOOCS.
