MOOCS

            Cooperative Learning is fundamental for the society of the 21 first century. In 2001 MIT University launched a platform that shares some of its courses online, so students from all over the world have the chance to receive the same education as the ones who take courses at MIT. Sharing information is not new, from the beginning of human kind all men have share their advances in technology, and this has helped overcome wars, diseases, and to sustain our lives. Therefore, cooperative learning is fundamental for all the schools and its implementation is necessary for many reasons.

          First of all, education in institutions like Harvard, Stanford are too expensive to enroll. So with MOOCS people from any part of the world can access online and be a student in these institutions and learn as those present. This opens doors for individuals to expand their knowledge and achieve their greatest potential.

         Second of all, the cost of education is reduce because students are utilizing the premises and consuming electricity. Also, the use of libraries is reduce because students can access to material online and this facilitates research investigations.

          Finally, MOOCS have come to energize education making it more proactive< this means that educators now have to develop other curriculum approaches that facilitate learning in big scale. To be sure, educators now have to use more technology that spreads learning faster and students can learn faster.

        In conclusion, Professor Cindy has  shown us that importance of computers in education; she has introduced us  with online learning that definitely can help expand our knowledge. I have already seen my changes in the way I learn and recently I use educaplay in one demonstration at a Curriculum Class. I strongly suggest not to take for grated the internet nor computer skills.
