The council has not yet advertised its services directly to MOOC students, she notes, adding that she believes prior-learning assessment still offers a "huge opportunity" for students to get college credit for free courses.
Maybe. But it could be a boon if you substituted MOOCs for existing *online* courses! The production values of many MOOCs far exceed those of run-of-the-mill online courses. We should strive to emulate MOOCs as far as these values are concerned.
ACE announced a group of university administrators who will be studying technology innovations, including MOOCs.
" 'me too'-ism, where innovation itself becomes the goal without a clear and compelling strategic purpose."
I think we're on the right track as a group, spending time looking into how we carry out business at UNB re. distance/online ed first, then deciding whether we want to jump on the bandwagon.
