A reminder that the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative’s Spring Focus Session will have as its theme “Learning and the MOOC.”  Over the past year, the massive open online course (MOOC) has emerged as a significantly different course model. But how robust is the MOOC as a vehicle for learning?

Dates are April 3 and 4, from noon to 5 pm ET each day. Info, agenda, and registration information is at:
