MASSIVE Open Online Courses — or MOOCs — are a snowballing revolution in education.
Thousands of courses from some of the world’s finest institutions are available free online, covering everything from astrophysics to the arts. For each course, students, sometimes numbering in the thousands, take part from home — where they view video lectures, take tests and submit essays through a Web interface. It’s a digital classroom with no actual “room,” and where you can study more or less when you like.
Nowadays of course, your smartphone means you can also study when you’re on the move.
