Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have taken higher education by surprise, with some courses attracting more than 100,000 registered students. Whether researching MOOCs users, focusing on the potential for MOOCs in the developing world, or hosting a lecture series, Penn GSE faculty and students are examining this emerging trend. The Next Generation MOOCs lecture series presents four speakers who will evaluate and explain how MOOCs have changed higher education.
Penn GSE and five other Penn schools are hosting an invitation-only conference April 10-11 on MOOCs in developing countries. MOOCs4D brings together leading scholars, administrators, policy makers and technologists from over 25 countries to spark dialogue.
Thanks to the Penn GSE Annual Fund April Challenge offered this spring by Overseer Josh Berlin, supporters of the School have a special opportunity to foster the growth of GSE students and the field of education.
