MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course) have been called ”the single biggest change in education since the printing press” (Anant Agarwall, President edX). Zaid Alzagoff developed this comprehensive presentation, “Demystifying MOOCs”

Educause has also assembled some great MOOC resources: http://www.educause.edu/library/massive-oen-online-course-mooc
My recommendation is to find a MOOC and check it out for yourself. I have participated in 3 and have learned something new each time. There are two MOOCs starting this week that I will be participating in. It would be fun to have you join me. Let me know if you will be testing the waters and we can meet to talk about our experiences, tweet me @luv2playgolf or comment below. Up-coming MOOC information:
