A
MOOC is a "massively open online course". Is this the next Big Thing? Harvard and MIT are joining together to offer
free online courses. Other top
universities are piling in as well. One
course offered by MIT called "Circuits and Electronics" enrolled
120,000 students. That is definitely
massive! The article link reviews the
major players in this quickly emerging area.
This is great for learning. Venture
capital is pouring money into it as well. How these universities and venture capitalists
intend to make money off of free online learning is a mystery to me, but if the
universities are willing to provide MOOCs, who are we to look a gift MOOC in
the mouth? http://tinyurl.com/86j64gb
