MOOC

A MOOC or Massively Open Online Course is a type of educational course that is valid towards a formal educational qualification, but exists entirely online. Most MOOCs are higher education orientated and count as credits towards degree courses, but the method works for education at any level where specialist equipment is not physically required.

MOOCs can be full-on virtual reality based, but at this time, the relative cost of VR equipment for every participant counteracts the main benefit of MOOCs – the low price point from the lack of requiring the use of a dedicated physical facility, the lack of travel and specialist accommodation costs et etcetera.

Thus most MOOC courses make use of email, pre-made documents, standard web functionality, and on occasion, collaborative virtual environments using standard home computer hardware. In other words, fishbowl virtual environments.
