Elite education for the masses...
Brian Caffo of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health teaches an online statistics course. He teaches 15,000 students worldwide through his “massive open online course”, or MOOC, a concept that is catching fire in academia.
Read the Washington Post article "Elite education for the masses" on the revolutionary changes happening right now at colleges and universities across the country. Respond to the following questions as a comment to this post:
- What is an MOOC?
- What are some of the subjects currently offered via MOOC's?
- Which institutions are currently offering these types of courses?
- What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of MOOC's?
- Will this change the way you go to college? Explain.
An MOOC is a Massive Open Online Class. MOOC offers about 200 courses from artificial intelligence to modern poetry. Some colleges that are already offering these type of courses are Liberty University and the University of Maryland University College but there are many more. The major advantage of these courses are that they are free. However, in many places you get no credit for these courses which often leads to people not completing them or even starting them. I think that if colleges start giving student credit to take these courses I think it will change my college experience greatly. It will give more people the option of going to college and making college more affordable. It will also help people get practice for college before having take real courses that they have to pay for.

A mooc is a massive open online course. there are about 200 diffrent courses you can take. Some of the advantages of moocs are that they are cost effective and easy to teach.The disadvantage with moocs is that a lot of people dont care about there grades and less than 20% will finish. Some of the instutuitions offering moocs would be stanford, harvard,ucla and troy. This will change the way people go to college because eventually a lot more will go online.
