MOOC's

An MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) is an online cursus that is open to anyone. That means ‘learners’ around the world can follow the MOOC free of charge, even if they’re not enrolled in an educational institution. Utrecht University has already developed eight MOOCs, each one linked to one of the university’s four strategic research themes.
