A month after the launch, each course already has thousands of enrollments. One of the highest-enrolling classes is Introduction to Art: Concepts & Techniques, with 17,800 students currently enrolled. Anna Divinsky, lead faculty member of the Digital Arts Certificate Program, is instructing the course.

Divinsky’s MOOC will focus on the fundamental theories and techniques of visual arts, and students will be expected to conduct research, complete writing assignments and create their own original works of art. Divinsky said that unlike a traditional class setting, MOOC students will have to be self-directed and learn to rely on each other for feedback instead of continual guidance from an instructor.
