MOOC

Massive Open Online Course, a large-scale online course that may or not be offered for free. There is no limit on attendance in these courses, and some MOOCs run with thousands of students. In some (but not all) cases MOOCs are offered for credit for students enrolled within the university offering the MOOC. In other cases, MOOCs have no credits associated with course completion.
