MOOCs R OK

Visible to anyone in the world
'If you're not lost and confused in a MOOC you are probably doing something wrong.' Wrote Martin Weller 18 months ago (25th March 2013)
A MOOC is a 'Massive Open Online Course'.
Rubbish name I know. Free Online Learning for the masses might sound better.
It's no longer the case. The FutureLearn MOOCs couldn't be more straightforward. If 'you' the student are lost then the course team and instructional designer in particular haven't done their job.
It's all about communication: clarity, consistency and simplicity. It's about being connected, engaged and inspired. It's about your curiosity being satisfied.
