Exercise 3. Give students enough time to review the question
types. Ask them to make up their own examples for each question type.
Exercise 4. Ask students if they have ever heard of MOOCs. Allow
them some time to read the passage about the free online course and discuss
the follow up questions.
A massive open online course (MOOC /muːk/) is an online course aimed
at unlimited participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional
course materials such as filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets, many
MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support community interactions
among students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs).
MOOCs are a recent and widely researched development in distance
education which were first introduced in 2008 and emerged as a popular mode
of learning in 2012.
Early MOOCs often emphasized open-access features, such as 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.
