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.
Advantages of using this site:
- you can learn from leading universities and companies;
- it is 100% online learning, which is free for students all over the world;
- it includes more than 3.900 courses and specializations;
- you can apply what you learn with self-paced quizzes and hands-on projects;
- you can get feedback from a global community of learners.
- and the design of this site is amazing.

Welcome to Coursera!

My personal opinion about groupmates' blogs

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. It has a thematic interface (background), a nice palette of colors and nothing trashy in the text - you should visit this site. 3.  I WANT TO SPEAK It is very positive-oriented and friendly blog. In each post the author asks just one question, which makes you smile, because we see that a person isn't indifferent to the users who visit his site. "How are you?" 4.  LaLaLanguage Nice interface, nothing superfluous, everything is very carefully and efficiently done. 5.  SpeakEverywhere A blog created by Polina Samoilovich has a thematic head

Bookmarks

Frankly speaking, I've never being in need of usage third-party services to save bookmarks. Every time I found a useful resource, I added it to my browser bookmarks (in my case, it's Google Chrome), but then I didn't need this site, or I visited it, but rarely. After reviewing the list of suggested services for saving bookmarks online, I haven't chose anything: everything is too complicated and I need to sign up there. For me the most comfortable and free resource is Google Bookmarks .  Google Bookmarks   is a free   online   bookmarking   service available to   Google Account   holders. It is completely separate from browser-based bookmarking and should not be confused with the Bookmarks function on any popular browser,   Google Chrome   included. Google Bookmarks was launched on October 10, 2005.   It is a   cloud-based service   that allows users to bookmark   webpages   and add   labels   or notes.   The service never became widely adopted by Google users. Users can

WIKI

Wiki is a web technology used for collaborative publishing on the web. Wiki is a type of server software that allows you to work with data on a remote server on the Web. Users interact with the software through a web interface that lets them read, edit and publish content. At the user's level, a wiki is a website with an “Edit” button. Clicking the “Edit” button allows you to edit the current page and save it for other Internet users to see. Like any other website, it is accessed through a website address, also known as URL which can be bookmarked and shared. It can also be accessed from any device with an Internet connection. Technically, a wiki site is not different from any other sites, with one exception — you and your students can create and edit it together. Wiki is used for collaborative publishing. A group of co-authors can freely add and change the content of the wiki website: rewrite texts, add new texts and images, add and link pages and more. To do so, the group needs a
