Building the Future of Education: How to bring the potential of MOOCs to life by Patrick Neubert

MOOCs have been around for a while, yet academia and practitioners are still discussing whether they are the format of the future in (higher) education. While some are still evaluating the possibilities, we just go ahead and bring them to life.

In this Meetup, we would like to share our experience in building Massive Open Online Courses for and beyond a German university setting.

We’d love to discuss with you how digitization will shape the higher education landscape and how the world will learn and study in 10 years time.

Speaker: Patrick Neubert, Co-Founder and CEO of Polarstern Education
