A massive open online course (MOOC) is an online course that welcomes anyone to participate and access it remotely via the Web without restrictions. In addition to conventional course materials such as video lectures, written assignments, readings, case studies, and problem sets, many MOOCs offer courses that include student forums or social media discussions to aid student-teacher communication, connections among students, as well as prompt feedback for quizzes and assignments. MOOCs, which were established for the first time in 2008, has grown in popularity since 2012 due to their capacity to be studied remotely.
