MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses that are open to unlimited participation and accessible for free via the internet. They aim to provide opportunities for lifelong learning by allowing students to access course materials, participate in discussions, and receive certificates of completion. While MOOCs provide flexible learning opportunities at a low cost, they also have drawbacks like low completion rates and questions around quality and accreditation.
