Abstract

MOOC expands fast in recent years so that it shows both advantages and bottlenecks. MOOC platforms try to solve their massive learning dealings and make further research on their MOOC data. E-learning research organizations combine MOOC research into their area to find better learning models of MOOC. Some MOOC related research organizations follow the frontier of MOOC. Research of MOOC is on the way.
