Why Should I Enroll in a MOOC?
While these courses cannot be taken for Illinois course credit, they offer the same high-quality lectures offered on campus at Illinois. Some reason LAS Online students may register for MOOCS include:
- Students have never taken an online course and want to try learning online without consequences
- Students have strict course schedules and are sincerely interested in one of these topics
- Students use MOOCs to try-out a course for free before deciding whether to enroll on campus through LAS Online
