Free Online Course Will Rely on Multiple Sites
Primary tabs
A group of online-learning ventures is collaborating on a new kind of free class to be offered this fall, known as a mechanical MOOC (for “massive open online course”), that will teach a computer-programming language by patching together existing resources from open-learning sites.
The new course, “A Gentle Introduction to Python,” will blend content from M.I.T.’s OpenCourseWare, instant-feedback exercises and quizzes from Codecademy, and study groups organized by OpenStudy (a GVU Center spinoff), and will be coordinated through an e-mail list operated by Peer 2 Peer University.
