Types of “MOOC”

xMOOC  cMOOC

Appear to have developed out of the idea of Open Courseware and Open Educational Resources. The "X" in X-

MOOC doesn't stand for anything specifically. 

The term C-MOOC refers to a MOOC designed to emphasize

connecting learners.

But X-MOOCs are typically offered by a university in

partnership with a for profit organization. C-MOOCs are built upon the idea and platform originally

envisioned  "X" standing for "Expert" because most of these MOOCs are taught by relying on recorded experts at well known universities

C-MOOC stands for Connectives MOOC.

History of “MOOC”.

• The term MOOC was coined in 2008 by Dave Cormier at the University of Prince Edward Island and Bryan Alexander of the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education in response to an open online course designed and led by George Siemens at Athabasca University and Stephen Downes  at The National Research Council (Canada).

• The 2008 course was called "Connectivism and Connective Knowledge" and was presented to 25 tuition fee-paying students in Extended Education at the University of Manitoba in addition to 2,300 other students from the general public who took the online class free of charge.

Field of my interest of study.
