Hi @suneel chittamuru . Thanks for your question. Kufos does have some free aquacultural courses, but they are limited in number and don't focus specifically on vannamei culture. You can view them here: http://mooc.kufos.ac.in/
You can also access a lot of free content around vannamei culture on YouTube:

I hope that helps

Busuu: Learn French
This resource covers reading, writing, listening and speaking study options with a chance to practice in real-time with other language learners and native speakers.
Learners require some understanding of the language prior to starting.
Some features such as grammar lessons, videos & PDF files require paid premium membership.

Duolingo: French for English speakers
Duolingo language programs teach vocabulary and build it into simple sentences through reading, writing, listening and speaking, with a ‘Tips’ section giving grammar explanations for each unit.

Foreign Services Institute: French
FSI courses are developed by the United States government and offer high-quality materials geared for language fluency.
The website is basic and some of the material is dated, but the courses, designed for complete beginners, are of merit and and include many hours of audio, as well as several repetition and response drills.
The focus is on listening and speaking, and less so on reading and writing.

Livemocha: Learn French
Livemocha’s lessons focus on reading, writing, listening and speaking skills separately. Material is broken down for the learner before being reassembled, allowing the student to apply what they’ve learned.
The website offers a social network type platform with chat options and friend suggestions and a community which is made up of teachers, language experts, other language learners, and native speakers who help each other learn through networking.
Some features require paid premium membership, but users can earn credit by ‘tutoring’ other learners.

Memrise French Courses
Memrise offers courses created by its community and uses science-based learning techniques with"mems" - little snippets of imagination and humour that make things easy to remember.
The site uses gaming where learners can earn points, and compete against friends, and is good for learning and remembering new vocabulary. Users load their own own mems onto the site to help other learners.

Hi all,

can we say that MOOC is an extending to e-learning?
and how?

Any useful references for this point?

Yes, absolutely! e-learning is a form of education that is accessed via an electronic device, such as a computer or smart phone. e-learning existed before the apparition of MOOCs, or even before the internet. The main things that set MOOCs apart are the words "Massive" & "Open". MOOCs are the first online courses that allow students in their thousands to enrol at the same time, and they have no restrictions or pre-requisites in order to enrol.
