Coursera co-founder Daphne Koller, whom Knowledge@Wharton interviewed in November 2012, returned to campus recently to speak about her progress since launching her company 2.5 years ago, and she gives her predictions for what the MOOC landscape will look like in the future. Poetry classes show MOOCs can have a personal touch. Dive Brief: Online poetry classes from the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University are showing that massive open online courses aren’t necessarily impersonal, and can draw students into smaller communities of teaching and discussion.

The Harvard course has students from 150 countries.

LAST week Ireland Inc was presented with a golden opportunity to use its unique position to lead the world in combining the future needs of business and education. I had the pleasure of introducing one of the world's largest and most progressive companies, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), to the Taoiseach, the Enterprise and Jobs Minister and the heads of many of Ireland's top third level education establishments. And the potential link-ups that the CEO of TCS presented, I believe, give the Irish education system, and the Irish economy, the opportunity to be at the forefront of a revolution in the way we both learn and work.
The key is Ireland's potential role with Tata in the development of Massive Open Online Courses (or MOOCs). Les MOOC : entre mirage technologique et virage pédagogique … le retour !
