MOOCs

I am going to divert a bit, with MOOCs.
 
Why? Today, universities are beginning to identify students who are adept at learning online and reward top achievers and professors. Employers, graduate and business schools are beginning to troll MOOCs [massive open online courses] seeking viable job, and academic, candidates.  

In fact, when I last checked, the nation’s graduate and B-school and MBA students were enrolled in more than 118 online programs. MOOCs offer greater access for a larger number of students, at significantly lower costs than on-site programs. 
 
By the same token, technology like Blackboard®, Cengage, eXplorance, BANNER and Kalture must be used to full potential. Smart phones, PCs and tablets, videos, interactive games, AI simulators and apps with Skype®-like virtual classrooms and cloud storage are obvious embellishments to online initiatives.

More a bit later?

My best experience, both as a student and also a teacher, has been with the UK Open University. I recommend you to try it.

Looks like a great online University. What i'm looking for is platform to develop my own online certification course. Basically a software application. - Roy 64 months ago
Udemy.com is an online learning platform. It is aimed at professional adults. Unlike academic massive open online course programs which are driven by traditional collegiate coursework, Udemy uses content from online content creators to sell for profit. - Dr. David E. 64 months ago
Udemy looks very easy to use and set up. One I'm looking at right now is Learnworlds.com. Harder to learn to set up, but looks more professional. - Roy 64 months ago
Agreed; there are others as well. Good luck - Dr. David E. 64 months ago
