2. WHAT IS MOOC ?
A massive open online course (MOOC) is a 20TH
century model for delivering learning content
online to any person who wants to take a course,
with no limit on attendance.

5. HISTORY OF MOOCs

The first MOOCs emerged from the open educational resources (OER) movement.
Open Educational Resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed
documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning, educational, assessment
and research purposes.

The term MOOC was coined in 2008 by Dave Cormier of the University of Prince
Edward Island.

And Senior Research Fellow Bryan Alexander of the National Institute for
Technology in Liberal Education.


In response to a course called Connectivism and Connective Knowledge (also
known as CCK08).

It was called „Connectivism and Connective Knowledge/2008‟ (CCK8), created
by educators Stephen Downes and George Siemens.

Building off a for-credit course at the University of Manitoba, Canada, this
was the first class designed behind the acronym of „MOOC‟ and used many
different platforms to engage students with the topic, including Facebook
groups, Wiki pages, blogs, forums and other resources.

7. Continues….

Around 2,200 people signed up for CCK08, and 170 of them created their own
blogs.

The course was free and open, which meant that anyone could join, modify or
remix the content without paying (although a paid, certified option was
offered.

In 2012, another MOOC experiment caught academics‟ attention.

Two Stanford Professors Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig decided to offer
“Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” for free online.

8. Continues……

Designed to resemble real classroom experiences and offer high-quality
classes for everyone, the idea had the advantage of carrying the prestigious
Stanford name .

More than 160,000 students in 190 countries signed up, and for the first time,
an open online course was truly „massive‟. This led Thrun and Norvig to build
a new business model for online knowledge.
