MOOC Around The World, Part 6 – "MOOCish" Online Ed Resources | Connectivism | Scoop.it
The 6th part to the series is about the relatives of MOOCs - MOOClatives. These are online ed resources that have a lot in common with MOOCs but do not quite fit because they are either not massive, not entirely free or not really a complete course.
