There is strong evidence of increasing consumption of heavily processed foods, coupled with cultural shifts away from the preparation of food in the home, which contributed to high rates of preventable, chronic disease. This Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) will shift the focus away from reductionist discussions about nutrients and move, instead, towards discussions about real food, nutrition and the environment in which we consume it. By the end of this MOOC course, learners should have the tools they need to distinguish between foods that will support their health and those that threaten it. The innovation revealed through the latest activities and trends on food and food faddism. Motivational quots are also included in this MOOC lesson. Food, Nutrition and Health have been developed and apply lifelong learning techniques, using assessment such as problem-based learning, project based learning and gamification (kahoot etc.). The approach also emphasizes on instilling values and principles, through less-structured seamless learning. It allows learners to negotiate the content of their learning and the way they will be assessed for their learning. This MOOC platform applies futuristic and flexible elements.
