open to anyone in the world who has a laptop and an Internet connectionMoreover, they are mainly offered by elite universities like Standford, Berkeley, Harvard and ColumbiaThe courses, like normal college courses, are sequenced（按顺序排好）by difficulty, enabling students to progress from beginners to the advancedThe courses cover not only a broad range of technical subjects such as math and puter science, but also courses in the social sciences and the humanities （人文学科）Though MOOCs are not offered for credit and degree, many students enroll in the courses for real skills or knowledge which they can put to some practical useSome students even form online study groups, or in-person groups with students who live nearbyThe format seems superior to the traditional school classThe average quality of the lecturer is much higher, because students do not have to stick with a mediocre（平庸的） lecturerBesides, students can scroll back or forwardin short, they can go at their own learning
