MOOC: Computer Science - Creating your own boot disc

What Is a MOOC? 

A massive open online course (MOOC) is a model for delivering learning content online to any person who wants to take a course, with no limit on attendance. 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 .

Boot disc


What is boot disc:

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. 

Creating your own boot disc

  • Click on the "New" button on toolbar or choose  the "File > New > Data CD / DVD Image" menu.

  • Choose the menu "Action > New Folder" to create a new folder.
  • Choose the menu "Action > Change Label" to change the default label.
  • Choose the menu "File > Properties" to set the iso file properties.
  • Click on the "Save" button on toolbar, or click on the "File > Save As..." menu.
  • Choose the menu "Action > Boot > Add Boot Information" to load a bootable image file.
  • Save the iso file to "Standard ISO Images (*.iso)" format.
  • To make bootable CD, please burn the iso file to a blank CD / DVD disc.
