Massive open online courses in chemistry : A comparative overview of platforms and features
(2013) In Journal of Chemical Education 90(11). p.1533-1539- Abstract
Open-access, online educational platforms launched in the last decade are receiving growing attention from both academia and the general public. A special class of such courseware known as MOOCs (massive open online courses) allows enrollment of up to hundreds of thousands of students from all over the world. This report reviews and compares currently available chemistry MOOCs as well as other Web-based courseware resources. Features distinguishing MOOCs from other types of instruction are also discussed.
