THE FIRST WORD


MOOC
Massive open online courses—dubbed MOOCs—have lured venture investors and universities, who have put millions of dollars into companies that partner with schools or instructors to offer free courses.
Other "massive" acronyms include MMO (sometimes MMOG), a "massively multiplayer online game," MPPA, "massively parallel processor array," a type of circuit with many CPUs, and MPSS, "massive parallel signature sequencing," a technique used in genetic analysis.
