Massive online open courses (MOOCs) have frequently been used to bring university courses and programs to remote students with little or no cost. While they began in STEM subjects, they have since filtered into other areas, such as business, the arts, and healthcare.<\/p>\n
But as of the last few months, a MOOC has entered into a world in which it was previously absent: politics.<\/p>\n
To galvanize its voting body, keep diverse politicians on message, and educate citizens how to get active, France\u2019s Republique en Marche party has launched \u201cLe MOOC qui va revolutionner la France<\/a>,\u201d or \u201cThe MOOC that will revolutionize France.\u201d<\/p>\n The initiative was presented earlier in November by Christophe Castaner, who has served in various positions and various parties in the French government. As of November 18, he was named the President of the Republique en Marche. He succeeds Emmanuel Macron, who earlier this year was elected President of France.<\/p>\n
