MOOC – Udacity and Coursera

Sounds really exciting this time with the MOOC, as reported by Audrey Watters 18 April 2012.

Both Udacity and MITx – as well as those 3 Stanford classes last term – focus on CS, but Coursera’s course catalog will extend beyond that one discipline. Ng and Koller promised me classes in poetry. They said there’ll be classes in science fiction and in folklore.  There’ll be sociology.  There’ll be continuing ed in medicine.

This is another post providing the updates on MOOCs – Elite Universities’ Online Play by Steve Kolowich 18 April 2012

Princeton, Penn and Michigan will join Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley as partners of Coursera, a company founded earlier this year by the Stanford engineering professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng. Using Coursera’s platform, the universities will produce free, online versions of their courses that anyone can take.

These MOOCs seem to be moving at a trajectory that would provide a whole spectrum of free online courses to anyone interested in taking.
