What I'm learning from Harvard: A MOOC story. Taking a bit of my own advice, I recently started working through a computer programming MOOC from Harvard, with the goal of distilling out teaching tips and online course ideas from a student’s perspective. While learning some useful job skills, I will share my experience to help designers of MOOCs and traditional online classes think about best practices in their course design. The on-campus introductory programming course, called CS50, is one of Harvard’s most popular electives, with over 600 students enrolled this semester. The vast majority of them are not computer science majors. 20130108_online.
