MOOC: Computer Science - Creating your own boot disc

A QUICK BACKGROUND ABOUT MOOC:

• What is MOOC?

A massive open online course, is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets, many MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support community interactions between students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent and widely researched development in distance education in which was first introduced in 2008 and emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012

Early MOOCs often emphasized open-access features, such as open licensing of content, structure and learning goals, to promote the reuse and remixing of resources. Some later MOOCs use closed licenses for their course materials while maintaining free access for students. Robert Zemsky (2014) argues that they have passed their peak: "They came; they conquered very little; and now they face substantially 

• What is a boot disk (startup disk) and why would I need one?

A boot disk (sometimes called a startup disk) was a type of removable media, such as a floppy disk, CD, or DVD, that contained Windows startup files that your computer could use to start Windows if the Windows system files on the hard disk became damaged or unusable.

In this version of Windows, you can create a system repair disc that contains the System Recovery Options menu. This menu, also located both on your computer's hard disk and on the Windows installation disc, contains special recovery tools that can help get Windows running again.
