This document discusses using MOOCs to increase lifelong learning skills. It proposes blending MOOCs into classroom lessons to make learning more passionate and self-regulated. An ongoing project combines MOOCs with content and language integrated learning (CLIL) in French and English classes. Preliminary results show increased student motivation and digital literacy, as well as teachers learning to offer guidance while trusting students. The document advocates shifting towards lifelong learning for all by creating personal, passionate learning journeys using open educational resources like MOOCs.

- 29. I did the course DemoX, in this course I learned how to use edX. I found it rather easy questions but it was a handy way of learning how to use edX. I now understand how to use the website.
