MOOCs in 2013: Breaking Down the Numbers

MOOCs in 2013: Breaking Down the Numbers | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it
In November 2011 I was taking one of the first MOOCs from Stanford. At that time, many new MOOCs were being announced and I started Class Central as a way to keep track of them and figure out what I should take next.
Alfredo Corell's insight:

The number of courses offered has grown from about 100 MOOCs in 2012 to almost 700 starting in 2013, with an average of nearly two new MOOCs starting every day. More than 1200 courses have been announced so far.

Daphne Koller, one of the two founders of Coursera, describes some of the key features of the Coursera MOOCs, and the lessons she has learned to date about teaching and learning from these courses. The video is well worth watching, just for this.

Course-Management Companies Challenge MOOC Providers - Wired Campus - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it

Two software companies that sell course-management systems, Blackboard and Instructure, have entered the race to provide free online courses for the masses.

On Thursday both companies plan to announce partnerships with universities that will use their software to teach massive open online courses, or MOOC’s. The companies hope to pull in their own college clients to compete with online-education players like Udacity and Coursera.

Cada vez es más el reconocimiento que se otorga a los cursos online (especialmente si son de calidad como los que ofrece Coursera). Ahora la Antioch University también ofrecera MOOCs (massive open online courses) reconocidos como parte de su programa de títulos universitarios.
