A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is an online course that allows unlimited participation and open access via the web. The first MOOCs emerged from the open educational resources movement in 2008. There are two main types of MOOCs - cMOOCs which focus on connectivist and constructivist approaches, and xMOOCs which are more formal and behaviorist. MOOCs allow anyone with an internet connection to participate in online learning regardless of age, ability, or location. However, they also face some criticisms like low completion rates and requirements of self-regulation from participants.

One online survey published a "top ten" list of reasons for dropping
out.[104] These were that the course required too much time, or was
too difficult or too basic. Reasons related to poor course design
included "lecture fatigue" from courses that were just lecture videos,
lack of a proper introduction to course technology and format, clunky
technology and trolling on discussion boards. Hidden costs were cited,
including required readings from expensive textbooks written by the
instructor that also significantly limited students' access to learning
material.[105] Other non-completers were "just shopping around"
when they registered, or were participating for knowledge rather than
a credential. Providers are exploring multiple techniques to increase the
often single-digit completion rates in many MOOCs.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/doc-140310072140-phpapp02/85/Doc-7-320.jpg)

In 2007, David Wiley at Colorado State University opened the first open online course on open education, which had about 50 participants from 8 countries. In 2008, the term "MOOC" was first introduced by Dave Cormier to describe George Siemens and Stephen Downes' course "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge", which had 25 enrolled students but over 2,300 open participants. In 2011, Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig of Stanford offered their artificial intelligence course online for free, attracting over 160,000 self-enrolled students from around the world. This led to the founding of for-profit education companies Udacity, Coursera, and EdX to offer large-scale online university coursesMassive Open Online Course (MOOC)

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses offered by prestigious universities that allow large numbers of students worldwide to study for free. They provide video-based instruction and interaction through peer review, group work, or automated assessments. While MOOCs offer access to quality education, they typically do not provide formal qualifications and have very high dropout rates, as most students do not complete the courses.

LIKE ANY OTHER LEANING ACTIVITIES MOOC HAS ALSO RECEIVED SOME CRITIQUES One online survey published a "top ten" list of reasons for dropping out.[104] These were that the course required too much time, or was too difficult or too basic. Reasons related to poor course design included "lecture fatigue" from courses that were just lecture videos, lack of a proper introduction to course technology and format, clunky technology and trolling on discussion boards. Hidden costs were cited, including required readings from expensive textbooks written by the instructor that also significantly limited students' access to learning material.[105] Other non-completers were "just shopping around" when they registered, or were participating for knowledge rather than a credential. Providers are exploring multiple techniques to increase the often single-digit completion rates in many MOOCs.
