Post 49: MOOC

If you want to take free online classes from major Ivy League
universities, then you can look no further than MOOC. I remember one
time I accessed MOOC and found a Yale professor talking about the topic, "What is literature?" The Yale professor talked for a whole hour
about the importance of literature. It was however a very complicated lecture and very hard to follow. I don't
think that my students would've been able to follow what he said. But
the gist of it was that the heart of literature is that everybody can
interpret the literature his way it's the very act of interpretation
that makes the study of literature fascinating because no two people
will look at the same text in exactly the same way. So if you want your students to experience a
college lecture at the Ivy League level, you can always access MOOC
absolutely free. MOOC is not just limited to Ivy League universities but
other American universities are also offering MOOC classes. You can find
MOOC classes on all kinds of subjects. Sometimes the university only
offers for free one or two lectures, and then you have to pay for the
rest of them. Also, there are universities that offer an entire class
free. So it differs from University to University how much of the MOOC is
free or not. There's so many variety of online classes in MOOC that it
is not possible for me to talk about it all in one blog post, but Google
MOOC and then write in your favorite topic you want to study, and you'll
find many many hits and as an online teacher you can send links to your
students in your online classroom of a college professor giving a one
hour lecture to a face-to-face class so that your online students can
also be exposed to what it is like for traditional college students in a
traditional face-to-face classroom.
