Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ gets on online-course bandwagon

Published: 22 February 2013

MOOCs are coming to Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾. These massive open online courses - all the rage in education circles, with The New York Times having dubbed 2012 as The Year of the MOOC - may offer Quebec students the kind of accessibility they've been looking for. That is, the courses are free, although they don't typically offer academic credit. Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ will join several universities around the world as a member of the edX consortium, founded by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ will begin to offer the courses in 2014. Professors at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾, working closely with edX teams, will design, develop and deliver MOOCs, with initial course offerings in sciences, humanities and public policy.
