  • Abstract
    Due to different data models, MOOCs are often monolithic and closed creations, which complicates the task of exchanging, reusing, and retrieving learning materials of different MOOCs. In this paper, we advocate that MOOCs should also be LOOCs (Linked Open Online Courses) to enable interoperability and interlinking data. We present a MOOC application and how it becomes a LOOC by making use of Semantic Web technologies.
