MOOCs (Massively Open Online Courses) are online courses available to anyone with internet access. They can benefit students by supplementing AP classes and helping further student learning. MOOCs capitalize on connected learning principles since students already use online media like videos and blogs to support their interests. They allow educators to rethink their curriculum and instructional strategies. MOOCs are a great resource tool for motivated students and teachers, though their best application in K-12 is helping high-achieving students get ahead.
