The new learning style:

Massive Open Online Courses

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs, pronounced “mooks”) are online courses open to everybody who has access to internet, and they are also usually free.

Many top universities as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Michigan or more nearby the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL) adopted this trend and are offering very interesting subjects.

Come and see how you can update yourself or learn a new skill from the comfort of your home. You can even get Certificates of Achievement to showcase your new acquired knowledge.
