Which of the following are MOOC platforms? A. Google Meet B. Coursera C. Zoom…

Concept

A massive open online course (MOOC) is designed for large-scale participation through the internet. A MOOC platform therefore hosts structured courses, learning materials, enrolment, and learner activities.

A communication tool or an academic-integrity service may support education, but that supporting role alone does not make it a MOOC platform.

Application

• Google Meet provides online video meetings and live communication.

• Coursera hosts structured online courses from universities and other institutions.

• Zoom provides video conferencing and virtual meeting facilities.

• FutureLearn hosts structured online courses from universities and partner organisations.

• Turnitin provides similarity checking, feedback, and academic-integrity services.

Contrast

• The combination Google Meet, FutureLearn, and Turnitin mixes a course platform with a meeting tool and an academic-integrity service.

• The combination Coursera, FutureLearn, and Turnitin adds an academic-integrity service to two course platforms.

• The combination Coursera and FutureLearn contains two services whose principal function is hosting structured online courses.

• The combination Zoom and FutureLearn mixes a video-meeting tool with a course platform.

Cross-check

Classifying each named service by its principal function leaves Coursera and FutureLearn in the online-course-platform category; Google Meet and Zoom are communication tools, while Turnitin is an academic-integrity service.

Therefore, the answer by value is B and D only.
