Briefing Paper Topic 2: MOOCs

The second briefing paper to be produced as part of this SIP project will be a commentary on the development, significance and likely future impact of MOOCs (massive open online courses).

It is hoped that the briefing paper to be posted here will be of use to those exploring the potential of MOOCs. An excellent summary has already been published by Li Yuan and Stephen Powell of Jisc-Cetis and this can be viewed below:
