Massive Open Online Courses are also called MOOCs. Tens of thousands, or even more people can 1 these classes all at once. You can be anywhere in the world to take a MOOC. All you need is a 2 and a network connection.
MOOCs add to a tradition of what is known as 3 learning. For years, many colleges have offered classes that are taught 4 or mostly online. MOOCs are available in subjects like computer science or engineering, which work quite well. But can MOOCs in subjects like arts be as 5 as the old teaching approach?

Lisa Jadwin, who teaches English and writing at St. John Fisher College in New York, says that online education has some weakness for her subjects.

So the old approach is not going to be 13 very quickly by computer – aided instruction.
