OpenSource For You

Creating MOOC Courses

It is very likely that, in the near future, you may get your degree from a university but will really learn from a Massive Open Online Course.

-

MOOC ( wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_ online_course) should not be confused with the streaming of traditiona­l lectures over the Internet. These open courses are, or will be, as radical a departure from current education as the earlier replacemen­t of personal tutors for the elite with public schools. As these courses are heavily dependent upon technology, especially software, it is very interestin­g to examine the software needed to create and run them.

For those interested in knowing the variety of courses now available on various sites, look at coursetalk. org. Another resource for more about jOOC, including its wider significan­ce as a way of jointly exchanging knowledge, can be found at moocguide. wikispaces. com. hino, Cinelerra as well as vlmc from VideoLan, the creators of VLC Player. In order to make your video available to viewers from different language background­s, you could use subtitles. vou can even get your viewers to create the subtitles for you ( universals­ubtitles.org).
