The World of MOOCs

Nice infographic from Edudemic covering developments of what Dave Cormier of the University of Prince Edward Island called MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). I do wish he hadn't - a ghastly acronym but never mind, there's still time for us to come up with something better.

The image should enlarge when you click it or view it full-size here.

  2. Nice to hear from you, Dave! and it's really a perfectly reasonable abbreviation but for some reason MOOC just looks wrong! At least you didn't coin National Open Online Knowledge Initaive Environments or we'd all be in trouble :)
