My MOOC experience

 The task was set quite simply: look through the list of MOOC, select a resource, select a course on it, and describe it after passing. My attention and interest were riveted on the resource COURSERA. 

It attracted me with its simplicity, convenience and intuitive interface. Since I was offered to choose a direction and specialization, in the end, the resource offered several options for very tempting courses.I decided to try my hand at a course called First Step Korean, which focuses on the base of the Korean language.

 

 The course is a set of so-called weeks, which include 6 tasks, ranging from watching videos and independent study of literature and ending with a module consisting of 4 tests on different topics. 

One of the most convenient functions during a task (watching video materials) is a script that automatically highlights the sentence that is being spoken at the moment by the speaker. There is also the possibility of changing the language. There are English, Arabic, Vietnamese, Spanish, German and even Chinese.

The resource also provides the ability to download videos.

My final conclusion: it doesn't matter which of the many resource you visit or how many courses you take. The quality of the information provided is undoubtedly the benchmark. The main thing is the desire to study the chosen course with interest. This can help the all-round development of the user as a person.

Types of WEB and their characteristics.  First of all, I want to highlight, that WEB was not something like an actual Internet, but it was a time,  separated by the periods (3 of them), and managment of the Net.  WEB 1.0  Web 1.0 refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made up of web pages connected by hyperlinks. This type of WEB can be described as a simple static pages, which consist of some texts, hypertexts, multimedia objects. Of course all the materials are written by a moderator, who can provide only just reference materials. Users had no ability to create posts and actually do anything excluding reading/watching/listening.
