BACKGROUND HISTORY OF MOOC
• MOOC is within networks that learning can generate quite interesting experiences. This leads us to the raise of MOOCs. The first MOOC was launched in 2008. It was called ‘Connectivism and Connective Knowledge/2008’ (CCK8), created by educators Stephen Downes and George Siemens. Building off a for-credit course at the University of Manitoba, Canada, this was the first class designed behind the acronym of ‘MOOC’ and used many different platforms to engage students with the topic, including Facebook groups, Wiki pages, blogs, forums and other resources.
HISTORY OF MOOC continue….
• Around 2,200 people signed up for CCK08, and 170 of them created their own blogs. The course was free and open, which meant that anyone could join, modify or remix the content without paying (although a paid, certified option was offered).
Types of MOOCs

FIELD OF INTEREST
• Life Orientation is one of the major subject I choose to teach.
• Life Orientation is a subject that enhance the holistic development of the individual.
• It addresses skills, knowledge and values for the personal, social, intellectual, emotional and physical growth of learners, and is concerned with the way in which these facets are interrelated. Life Orientation guides and prepares learners for life and its possibilities and equips them for meaningful and successful living in a rapidly changing and transforming society.
