Massive Open Online Course

A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is like a big online class that anyone in the world can join for free or at a low cost. Thousands of people can sign up to watch video lessons, do assignments, and take quizzes, all from their computers or phones. Examples include platforms like Coursera or edX. In short, it’s a way to learn new skills or topics online, often from top universities, without needing to be in a physical classroom.
