Forget the learners, how do I measure a MOOC quality experience for ME!

Dave Cormier, MOOC Quality Project, May 23, 2013 Dave Cormier follows my post last week to the MOOC Quality Project with a discussion "on the motives of different vested interests and their relationship to MOOCs." It's a good examination of the many perceptions of 'quality' and 'success' related to MOOCs. "I think it is critical that we understand the ways in which different interest groups will judge the ‘ quality’ of that experience for the convenor (and their sponsors)," he writes. "What are we all in it for? What is the difference between a pat on the back and a failure for each of the different groups convening MOOCs?" [Link] [Comment]

A Florida first: UF offering cheaper online learning degrees

Online learning update by Ray Schroeder - Thu, 2013-05-23 01:10

By Robert Nolin, Karen Yi and Scott Travis, Sun Sentinel

If you’re a student, established professional or business owner, an initiative recently approved by the Florida Legislature may change how you pursue a college degree, advance your career or locate your company. All you need is a computer, time and the desire to learn. The University of Florida, the state’s top-ranked public college, soon will offer 20-25 bachelor’s degree programs fully online, at a cost cheaper than on-campus classes. It’s the first such program offered by a Florida public university and if successful could expand to others. As of the spring term, which starts in January, it means you need never set foot in Gainesville to earn a coveted UF diploma.

Will the Online Learning put universities out of business?

Online learning update by Ray Schroeder - Thu, 2013-05-23 01:05

By Amy Clancy, KIRO TV

More than half of recent college graduates in Washington state enter the stiff job market more than $20,000 in debt. But now, many universities are launching online courses, some even for free. Starting this fall, the University of Washington in Seattle will offer a degree in early childhood education and family studies, completely online. When the announcement was made, the UW touted its “low cost” of $7,000 a year.

MOOCs aren’t the only kind of online learning course stirring debate on college campuses

Online learning update by Ray Schroeder - Thu, 2013-05-23 01:01

by Ki Mae Heussner, GigaOM

On the heels of faculty backlashes to massive open online courses, three universities have pulled out of an online learning program with education company 2U. Last fall, the company, which has partnered with several leading universities for online masters degree programs that feature small classes and live instruction, announced a new for-credit online program for undergraduates called Semester Online. But three of the 10 schools that had originally committed to the program have since backed out. Last month, Duke revealed that it was withdrawing from the program after a faculty vote against the program. And, according to Inside Higher Ed, Vanderbilt and University of Rochester have also pulled out as of Friday, with Wake Forest sitting on the fence.
