University of Michigan to offer more massive open online courses

by Brian Kuang, Michigan Daily

Since the summer, the University has nearly doubled the number of massively open online courses, MOOCs, it offers on both the Coursera and edX online platforms. This includes 42 currently available courses on Coursera and two courses that will be available in the spring of 2016 on the edX platform, covering subjects ranging from programming and finance to classical music. James DeVaney, associate vice provost for Digital Education and Innovation, wrote in an e-mail interview that MOOCs not only help faculty members teach larger audiences, but also serve as a testing ground for new educational technologies and strategies.
