Thoughts from Participants


“In the last few weeks, I've been more enthusiastic about my job than I have in a long time, thanks to this MOOC...”


“I’m here to learn and figure out how I might play a role in MOOCs on my campus.”


I am making a commitment to this MOOC, and already, there are some differences that seem like they may keep me engaged. Having a “homeroom” and other “tribes” connects me to a smaller group of people.
