Here a MOOC. There a MOOC. Everywhere a MOOC MOOC!
Details
While there has been a lot of turmoil across the K-20 education space, little has spread so rapidly as MOOCs (Massively Open Online Courses). Seen as a financial saving grace for some, and the death of quality education to others, everyone is picking a side. We want to talk with the organizations making these courses as well as the universities grappling with the daily changing landscape. So bring your challenging ideas and let’s roll up our sleeves with some of the industry experts!
