MOOC's (Massive Open Online Courses) are becoming increasingly popular and for all the right reasons. The cost of education is rising, especially in more economically developed countries where the cost of living is correspondingly expensive.

Education, a priority and a basic human right, should be both accessible and affordable to everyone. Technology is changing that, one MOOC at a time.

The expansion of the global technological infrastructure has been instrumental in changing the way we create and obtain information. From machine learning to filmmaking, MOOCs are offered in just about any domain.
