They’ve been theoretically discussed for a decade, tested by some of the United State’s elite universities, and discussed on our site before, but Massive Open Online Courses (or, MOOCs) are now truly taking the world by storm. MOOCs are an experiment in accessible higher education, free online courses taught by professors or other leaders in a field that are available to people around the world. They can provide a high-quality educational experience for people who may otherwise lack direct access (because of geographical, economic, or other reasons) to higher education. This creates tremendous potential for opportunities and advancement that was previously unheard of for the poor, marginalized, and isolated.
