It is now impossible to cover these MOOCs with one definition because there are many different categories of MOOC classes. Some MOOC courses are based on recorded video workshops plus facilitated interaction or discussion forums. Some MOOCs are a supply-side effort to respond to increases in the demand for teaching and learning and elearning. MOOC courses are unmistakably becoming a meaningful catalyst for innovations in blended learning technology.
