ENGLISH MOOCS WILL BENEFIT ALL THOSE
STUDENTS THAT HAVE CHALLENGES WITH
SPECIFIC TOPICS. i.e. learners can go through
the same test many times until they feel
they confident, and the advantage is that
they will get immediate feedback
 Word puzzles will help improve spelling
 Unlike books, MOOCs allow space for audio
ebooks. This will benefit learners with
reading difficulties.
