Impressions on the Mod-Po class.

Wow. Amazing poetry class.

Sounds exciting, doesn't it? And a fine example of a humanities MOOC.

Good provocation by Derek (always worth following). Again, the old Two Cultures divide returns.

I thought this comment was of interest to Liberal Arts Colleges: Justin Sipher, VP of libraries and information technology at St. Lawrence University, said the liberal arts colleges who have so far been lukewarm to the MOOC phenomenon might be making a mistake by "sheltering students from an experience of lifelong learning" that they ought to be exposed to. Even if an institution is concerned about diluting its brand with online offerings, students probably ought to be required to learn how to learn in an online course "just like you must learn a lot of other things as part of a liberal arts education," he said.

Justin's a fine CIO thinker.
