E-learning technology has rapidly grown in terms of interactivity and the capability to reach humans all over the world since the emergence of the Internet. The life-changing technological influence of the World Wide Web allows powerful types of communication and interaction which are essential for online learning. There are scarcely any trends in online learning technology over the past few decades that can match the sudden arrival of these MOOCs. It is now impossible to cover MOOC classes with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC courses. Some MOOCs are based on recorded video conversations plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums.
