1) Massive open online course (MOOC)
2) MOOCs are definitely a disruptive innovation and the current buzz in higher education. Like many disruptive innovations, there are both positive and negative opinions in the blogosphere, with limited research or evidence available.
3) A massive open online course (MOOC; /muːk/) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user forums that help build a community for students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent development in distance education which began to emerge in 2012.
4) It has been fascinating to examine emerging technologies within the larger context of higher education.
So which social media tools could you use?
Any social media tool could be used to build the architectural design of a MOOC, but the five most commonly used at the moment are:
A wiki (e.g., Wikispaces) – The ideal tool to set up your course syllabus.
A discussion group or list-serve (e.g., Google groups) – Enables sharing discussions online and through e-mail while keeping the topics nicely grouped based on their title.
Microblogging (e.g., Twitter) – Allows a quick exchange of resources and thoughts.
Social bookmarking (e.g., delicious) – participants share resources on the Web that can be retrieved later on.
Virtual classrooms (e.g., Elluminate) – Enable synchronous sessions (live meetings) so that people can put forward different questions. Virtual classrooms also allow more human, immediate interaction to occur, and they are ideal to give an expert the floor to express her/his framework of ideas.
Wikispaces is a free web hosting service (sometimes called a wiki farm) based in San Francisco, California. Launched by Tangient LLC in March 2005, Wikispaces was purchased by TSL Education in March 2014.[1] It is among the largest wiki hosts, competing with PBworks, Wetpaint, Wikia, and Google Sites (formerly JotSpot).

5) Social media are at the center of any MOOC: LINK
A MOOC is delivered online. This opens up a variety of online tools you can use to set up your MOOC. The choice between the different tools depends on the dynamics you have in mind. If you know your target audience, you can use those social media tools and internet options that your MOOC participants are already using. If you do not know your MOOC participants upfront, you might want to think about using the most accessible communication tools available. Keep it simple.So which social media tools could you use?
