MOOC

Thanks to digital possibilities, MOOCs are not bound by the limitations of a physical location, but harness the full power of digital technologies and the Internet. This makes MOOCs highly participative: depending on the platform chosen, the connection of the beneficiary and the server hosting the courses, as well as the computing power of the devices used, thousands of people together can enjoy the same content

Because the courses are open to everyone, regardless of cultural and socio-economic background; contrary to many university or vocational courses, which have a limited number of participants or are expensive, MOOCs are more accessible, thus more democratic: technically, anyone with Internet access can follow a MOOC

It is pure e-learning. If well organized, the student will be placed in a welcoming and well-organized learning environment, with attractive multimedia content, in which he/she can navigate, inform and train him/herself by self-organizing his/her own time and space

Although there are examples of classic face-to-face lessons, most MOOCs tend to focus on the concept of a class or seminar, creating a community of learners who can relate, share experiences and ideas, participate in collaborative activities. MOOCs are not ``boring online seminars``! Instead of just consuming knowledge, MOOC learners are invited to actively participate. Courses sometimes also include assignments and final exams
