Some of the most renowned MOOCs platforms.

A massive open online course (MOOC) 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 courses with user forums or social media discussions to support community interactions among students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs), as well as immediate feedback to quick quizzes and assignments. MOOCs are a widely researched development in distance education, fiirst introduced in 2008, that emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012, a year called the "Year of the MOOC".

MOOCs allow learners to take online courses outside a formal university setting at their own pace. 

Many famous higher education institutions, including Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, deliver these online courses on a variety of topics and at a variety of educational levels. You can take a single class to delve deeply into a particular topic or take a sequence of courses to gain comprehensive knowledge of an area of study.
