Locating and accessing digital resources from MOOC platforms
MOOC which stands for Massive Open Online Courses is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. Early MOOCs often emphasized open access features, such as connectivism and open licensing of content, structure and learning goals, to promote the reuse and remixing of resources. Some later MOOCs use closed licenses for their course materials while maintaining free access for students (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course)
The courses or digital resources can be accessed through MOOC platforms mostly managed by different Universities or Educationalist. The following is a list of some of MOOC providers where the resources can be accessed from.
