Recommended MOOCs By Steve Kolowich In what could be a major step toward bridging the gap between massive open online courses and the credentialing system that they are supposed to "disrupt," the American Council on Education on Thursday endorsed five MOOCs for credit. Two of the approved courses, "Introduction to Genetics and Evolution" and "Bioelectricity: A Quantitative Approach," come from Duke University. Two others, "Pre-Calculus" and "Algebra," come from the University of California at Irvine. The last, "Calculus: Single-Variable," comes from the University of Pennsylvania. All five are offered through Coursera.
Por Javier Martín, autor de Loogic [3 questions à] Hélène Lejeune, CEO d’Enaco: « Notre école de commerce ouvre son premier MOOC » Présentée comme la première école de commerce à distance, Enaco doit lancer demain son premier « MOOC », les fameux Massive Open Online Courses. L’occasion pour Frenchweb de revenir sur cette notion et l’avenir de ce secteur, notamment appuyé par le rapport « Pour un New Deal numérique » confié à Gilles Babinet, ancien président du CNN et aujourd’hui Digital Champion auprès de la Commission Européenne.

Pearltrees releases a new version, without any pearls nor trees The Paris-based startup founded in 2009 once declared: “We focus on the visual potential of Pearltrees to let people dive deeply into their interests and nearly feel them”.

Today, pearls and trees have disappeared to make room for a brand new and larger organisation tool. Two years ago, everyone wanted to build products around “curation” and “interest graph”. Today the keywords have shifted to “collaborative SaaS tool” and “organizing data”.

Stanford démocratise l’e-learning avec la plateforme NovoEd La plateforme d’e-learning NovoEd a attiré plus de 80 000 étudiants de plus de 150 pays et est à l’origine de la création de plusieurs entreprises. A l’université de Stanford, le professeur Saberi et le doctorant Ronaghi Farnaz ont mis en place un dispositif dédié à l’e-learning. Baptisée Lab Venture, cette initiative vise à optimiser les interactions lors des cours en ligne et plus précisément « à maintenir l’attention des élèves, leur intérêt et leur engagement tout au long de leur parcours », explique le site VentureBeat. Ce travail a donné naissance à la plateforme d’e-learning NovoEd sur laquelle ont été déployés, dans un premier temps, des cours autour de « l’entrepreneuriat technologique ».
MRUniversity That’s Marginal Revolution University, MRU, or I suppose to some “Mister” University. We think education should be better, cheaper, and easier to access. So we decided to take matters into our own hands and create a new online education platform toward those ends. We have decided to do more to communicate our personal vision of economics to you and to the broader world.
An Invite-Only Marketplace Connecting Projects With Talent Princeton Experience By Mitchell Duneier A few months ago, just as the campus of Princeton University had grown nearly silent after commencement, 40,000 students from 113 countries arrived here via the Internet to take a free course in introductory sociology. The noncredit Princeton offering came about through a collaboration between Coursera, a new venture in online learning, and 16 universities, including my own.
