MOOCs- Massive Open Online Courses: Another way to learn

As someone has said,

I have forgotten what I studied, but I remember what I have learned.

We all attend college to study new things, but institute teaches what is decided in our
course and its syllabus, in many cases it is not enough if you want to learn and understand that subject properly. To understand it, you need to cross the boundary of your syllabus and academic curriculum.

You can also learn stuffs other than your department and grow your skill in your field of interest.

It can be stuff like real life application of the thing which learn or can other than our department.

With such a technological advancement, it would be lame to argue about not having proper resources.

The future is full of integrated knowledge. For that question is where we can get all such materials. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) can be a good option.MOOCs can help change your life and transform learning at your organization.
