EWA Higher Ed Seminar: Moving Beyond Moocs
EWA held its annual Higher Education Seminar recently at Boston's Northeastern University. We invited some of the education journalists in attendance to contribute posts from the sessions. Today's guest blogger is Carl Straumsheim of Inside Higher Ed. For more content from the seminar, including stories, podcasts, video, check out EdMedia Commons. Additional background and helpful resources on online learning in higher education, including MOOCs, can be found at Story Starters.
The answer, of course, is no, but during the hour-long panel titled “Making the Most of Online Education” at EWA's conference, MOOCs were all but an afterthought. Less than a year after The New York Times declared 2012 the “Year of the MOOC,” who would have thought?
