Introduction.
The article is about massive open online courses commonly known as (MOOCs)
(Bali,2014).It was written by Stephanie Blackmon a Ph.D. leader on William and Mary
School of Education. The author argues that massive open online courses has been ranked as
an academic issue which purposes to teach on open educational initiatives, teaching on
competency based learning mode and also being termed as the key resource for teaching in
institutions.MOOCs has been highly condemned in universities .The author says that
(MOOCs) are highly described as the educational deteriorations factors. In most cases the
issue of MOOCs is always discussed in lower levels of education but when it comes to higher
levels of educations for example in tertiary levels in academic the aspect of (MOOCs) is seen
as peculiar thing thus lecturers unwilling to teach about it (Barnes, 2013). MOOCs: The
author conducted a research in order to determine the professors’ experiences in different
learning institutions so as to come up with teaching strategies employed by professors when
teaching (MOOCs).The data collected summarised why some professors are teaching the
course despite the fact that it is faced by challenges. On considering the disparate associated
with (MOOCs) we see that “cramps” is said to contain some nutrional value that aids a source
of material needed on the course. On the part camp also forms a major part of the cramp in
(MOOCs).It involves swirling sugar which contains sweetness which dissolves on its own
thus lacking the nutritional values needed. Some authors argues that open courses such
(MOOCs) will prepare teachers in institutions to teach appropriately and also assist learners
to get adequate knowledge needed in solving problems in daily life’s. Open courses may be
difficult to some people but it’s our mandate to ensure there are teachings based on the
(MOOCs) through thin and thick (Barnes, 2013). Learning institutions, lectures and
companies need to emphasize on the aspect of (MOOCs).

The purpose of this report was to provide apt data on the teacher’s experiences on creating
and teaching the issue of MOOCs in different learning institutions. The research incorporated
different leaders who teach on the course. The included answer on question such how the
professors who teaches MOOCs how they behave and their experiences on the aspect
MOOCs.The research indicates that there were a huge number which had completed the
MOOCs course (Bruff,Fisher,McEwen,Smith,2013). Most of the participants used in the
research were teachers. A large number of almost more than 4.5 million had acquired a
certificate for the MOOCs course in different learning centres. However, is may seem funny
in one or the other in sense that we have instructors who have experience on the MOOCs but
it’s unfortunate no one has an idea on where the MOOCs course came from. No single person
who is aware on who created the MOOCs course. Therefore there is confusion whereby there
is a lot which is missing about the MOOCs thus subjecting the course to lack information to
be included in the literature. The entire issue discussed here is all about phenomenography
which targets to determine the variations within the entire faculty of members teaching
experience in MOOCs course (Chen, Barnett, Stephens, 2013). It also checks on the aspect of
creating and methods or techniques used in teaching the MOOCs courses in different learning
areas.
Discussion.
Clear evidence and analytical thinking of the article.
First and foremost the entire content of the article gives apt information about the
MOOCs course. There are a lot a serious learner and every person can learn from the
article .This is to suggest that the issue of MOOCs is important and most conversations are
being held so as to discuss on the best criteria that can be used to create awareness on the
concept of MOOCs (Chengjie, 2015). Most people have discussed various fields and
