What Is a "Hangout?" A Hangout is a web-based tool created by Google for communicating through video. Up to ten people can "hang out" at one time in a virtual "room." A Hangout can be as simple or as complex as needed. It can be used simply to converse or, through the use of extra apps and add-ons that Google provides, a Hangout can become a virtual meeting space.

This discusses the world-wide impact of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) but also where they fall short. They lack the relationship between teacher and student which can be so important to learners. In fact, they said that less than 10% of those who sign up for MOOCs actually complete the course. The access to such a great opportunity to learn is wonderful, but not sufficient for all.
