Abstract:

–Several colleges and universities are experimenting with Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that offer students free access to contents of many courses to reach more students and it rapidly continues to grow within higher education programs especially in the US. Through a review of the literature, I decided to write a paper to inform related to MOOCs studies (like, what is it, the importance, how it works, who governs, its pedagogy, problems and meaning for future learning) to our audiences. In general, it can be summarized the major goals of MOOCs are: extending reach and access; building and maintaining brand; improving the economics by reducing costs or increasing revenues; improving educational outcomes; innovation and conducting research on teaching and learning
