From these, this paper will focus on three keydifferences the authors feel have a significant impact on whether MOOCs will emerge as adisruptive technology: - Mass Population - Cognitive Optimization - Market Acceptance i. Mass PopulationAs indicated by MOOC’s name, Massive, represents the volume of materials available and themassive number of people the educational materials can reach. For example a course on artificialintelligence was held in 2011 by Stanford professor S.

Z80 was selected for the CPUrather than an 8086 for several reasons. First and foremost, the 8086 is no longer manufactured.Second, the Z80’s clock is DC-coupled, allowing students to single-step through instructions fordebugging (the 8086 requires a 2 MHz minimum clock speed). Third, the Z80 is a popularprocessor among hobbyists and in industry and is supported by a rich set of peripheral interfacecomponents and projects. Fourth, the Z80 provides completely independent data and addressbuses; on the 8086, the lower eight bits of the address bus are multiplexed with the data bus,which students can find confusing. In addition, since the Z80 is based on the 8080, Z80instructions are very similar to basic x86 instructions. As an added benefit
