    I think that the use of Moocs, in this moment of emergency, is necessary for continue to follow the scholastic program. In my opinion, the video lessons can be very useful, because staying at home alone, can help to concentrate. Currently, it is working very well.

    The MOOC are free or paid on-line courses, they can be used by anyone from anywhere in the world. The important thing is to have internet and is an email address. In this period this course is most important, because we can go to school or university and therefore thanks to these lessons we can continue our school program.

      Unclear and incorrect in most parts. Your piece of writing needs a clearer, more natural-sounding English, especially in the second and third sentence.

    In my opinion, the MOOC Project in this moment of difficulty is very important and useful because thanks to these courses you can also work from home. I am very happy that there are courses like MOOC because they help not only to learn and also help to distract people from the coronavirus.

    The project MOOC is very important in this time, because for next years we will not have the basics of the subjects if these courses didn't exist. The flaws are that not everyone takes advantage of these courses and that they damage the sight because we stand in front of a screen for many hours.

    I think the use of moocs is the only way to be able to continue the program without falling behind. Personally I miss school so much, contact with people is much better than seeing and communicating through a screen. Despite this, it is very useful and for now it is also working well.

    I think, that this fresh approach to graduate be one thing very good and evolutionary for many people who manage to have the right equipment, to organize well for all delivers and find no distractions in their home environment.
    But for other people who don't have the opportunity to have the right equipment, or they can't to focus on the study, it's better to go in a school context where there are no distractions and you can study at best.
    So in this quarantine period everyone can understand where they manage to be most productive: at home or at school.

    In my opinion, the MOOCs are a good proget and idea to help many people around the world, especially in this moment of difficult. A lot of young people chose this courses for many reasons, in particular for money, but have a degree today is very important and the MOOCs are perfect solution.

    I think that MOOCs is necessary for this period and it is an excellent opportunity not to miss the progress achieved during the school year. Without the use of technology we would have missed various study opportunities. The teaching materials proposed by the teachers in addition to the video calls, have constituted an important teaching tool

  11. The Massive Open Online Courses are very important, because use the internet and study are human rights. For too much years, only rich people could afford a scholastic education, it was too expensive for the mob. The globalization and the technological development are amazing things, that allow everyone (who want it) to find a job, in the future.

    I think that is very difficoult to conform themselves in this situation, especially in short time and suddently. Today we are using our technology brilliantly, and we are having good results with the teachers. In my opinion, this experience can be useful in the future, maybe in different ways.

    In my opinion, the Mooc project is very important in this moment of difficulty, because through these online courses you can work safely from home. The videolessons are very useful because you can interact with your classmates and with the teachers and we don't fall behind with the program. These courses are very useful and I am happy that they are there, also because with the video lessons we detach ourselves for a moment from thinking about the bad situation we are in right now.

    In my opinion, the MOOC project is very important in this moment of emergency and difficulty and it helps to do lessons at a distance, not losing concetration, continuing with the school program. I think these courses help people learn to stay at home and help us be active, it also distracts us from this very bad period.

    In my opinion, the MOOC project can be helpful if the students want to take part, because is very easy to skip the lessons if you want.
    But if the students take part at the lessons, the project MOOC can be a good alternative of the normal lessons.
