    It's not a MOOC platform, but a course platform. But except from that it's not so different than a MOOC, because you have short modules (all are free) and you can progress in knowledge in many fields. It's for pre-universitary student and also for universitary student (because nobody knows anything). I don't understand the previous comment, "not supported by many schools", you don't need to use it with a school.

    Lesson subjects are different and also not supported by many schools.
