MOOC is an acronym for Massive Open Online Course. The word “massive” means large number or amount, “open” means accessible to all, “online” means connected to or available through a system, and “course” means the act of moving in a path from point to point. Therefore, MOOC refers to a route or pattern of getting a content or information available through an online system that can be accessed by many people.

Involve video lectures, readings, discussion, and assignments like developing assessment instruments, often using peer review to handle the massive number of participants.
