Explanation
★MOOCs are a flexible and open form of self-directed, online learning designed for mass participation, so that is the answer.
★MOOCs are delivered online, over the internet, not offline.
★They are self-directed, since each learner works through them at his own pace and choice.
★They are designed for mass participation, open to very large numbers of learners at once.
★Calling them teacher-directed misses their self-paced nature, and calling them offline misses their online delivery.
★So the correct description is self-directed, online learning open to the masses.
