The Technology and Learning discussion group (open to all University community members) will convene for a third meeting on Monday, March 18, 6:00pm-7:15pm in LSC 238 (the Forum\/Faculty Dining Area), unless otherwise stated.<\/p>\n
The theme of the evening’s discussion will be “all things MOOC.” Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) <\/a>were initially offered by faculty from Stanford and other prestigious universities as a way for their faculty to offer free courses online to tens of thousands of students at once. Since first offered through Stanford in 2011, faculty from many other institutions have begun offering MOOCs. The increasing popularity of MOOCs has caused a stir in higher education with arguments for and against their usefulness as an educational platform. We’re looking forward to a lively and informative discussion!<\/p>\n If you’d like to attend, please prepare for the discussion by reading\/watching\/browsing an article\/video\/website\/etc of your choice that relates to MOOCs.
