Massive open online courses: a new tool in educational policy
In: Diplomatic Service, Issue 3, p. 73-77
Rapid technological growth, social and demographic changes in the world have led to the emergence of new requirements for education. Traditional institutions involving face-to-face learning cannot fully meet the needs of a growing number of students. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), which are available to any student, regardless of their social status and where they live, have become a new tool in distance education. MOOC solve the problem of increasing student mobility and increasing inclusiveness in society. This mechanism can become both a complement to traditional forms of education and their direct competitor.
