It's free and revolutionising learning

Feb 10, 2013 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- There are divergent views on how tertiary education will be shaped by massive open online courses (MOOC) such as those provided by Coursera. More than 3.6 million people have signed up to Coursera, which has been running for less than one year. Factors such as high-speed internet connections and the availability of cheap memory in the cloud should help MOOC to flourish. Coursera's Andrew Ng says the large amount of data collected on students could alter the understanding of learning.
