free mooc course materials

In order to support access to education for all, every time we create a MOOC, we also create a MOOC-Pack. A MOOC-Pack provides a MOOC’s core content, packaged with a how-to guide and extra instructional materials. Using a MOOC-Pack, anyone can lead a writing class or a study group. To browse our MOOC-Packs and access free course materials, please visit the Digital Learning MOOC-Pack Library website >
