T[ai]m 2 English

Greetings! Today I want to share with you my top-5 students' blogs, which were created during our course this semester. So, here we go! 1.  SET:SINGING ENGLISH TOGETHER This is one of the most beautiful blogs created by Varya Gorbacheva. A pleasant color-scheme, stylish interface - all this the girl tried to do, and it turned out very cool. 2.  Phonetics - Take it easy! A blog created by my groupmate Maria Slesareva looks pretty nice.

MOOC - Massive Open Online Course It is a response to the challenges faced by organizations and distributed disciplines at a time of information overload. It used to be that when you wanted to know about something you could do a few things: - you could ask someone; - you could buy a book; - you could try to figure it out for yourself or you could call a school if that school offered the course and the thing you try to figure out you could go there and take it. You could get access to information about a topic. Nowadays, a large number of resources are available for creating your own courses, such as edX, Moodle, CourseSites by Blackboard, Udemy, Versal, Canvas, Coursera etc. But I would like to tell you a little bit about Coursera  - the resource I liked more than other suggested ones.
