About MOOCs

Often arranged as courses with quizzes and assignments, they make the content of higher education available to everyone. MOOCs are hosted on many different platforms; however, we have chosen to use Instructure IO to host our MOOCs because of the integration with Canvas, the most used learning management system (LMS). Even if your school does not use Canvas, you can still download all the materials and add them to your curriculum.
