Abstract

This article aims to fill a gap in the counselling literature regarding the new high technology online teaching approach called Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs), which makes it possible for thousands of students across the world to freely access university courses through the Internet. Specific attention has been given to the current and potential future use of MOOCs in counselling and the relevant strengths, limitations and ethical/legal considerations. Also included in this article are a brief overview of and discussion concerning MOOCs.
