Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are an emergent educational platform which delivers content online and are made freely available to anyone wishing to take them. In order to receive accreditation for taking a MOOC, however, a student may need to pay a fee or be registered with a traditional educational institution such as a college. Well known MOOC platforms are ''edX''<ref>[http://www.edX.org edX]</ref> from [[MIT]], ''Coursera''<ref>[http://www.coursera.org Coursera]</ref>, and ''uDacity''<ref>[http://www.uDacity.com uDacity]</ref>. There are also MOOC platforms not sponsored by traditional educational institutions or commercial interests such as ''P2PU''<ref>[http://www.p2pu.org Peer To Peer University]</ref> or ''School of Data''<ref>[http://www.schoolofdata.org School of Data]</ref>. George Siemens and Stephen Downes, proponents of the educational learning theory ''Connectivism'', made key contributions and facilitated some of the first MOOCs.
