MOOCs are large-scale online courses where an expert or group of experts from a particular field both

2. facilitate a multi-week series of interactive lectures and discussion forms on critical issues from that field. and discussion forms on critical issues from that field.

Participants are expected to self-organize, to share and discuss the course material, and to create and publish new artifacts that represent their learning.
