MOOCs Are Back

TeachOnline.ca, Oct 20, 2021

I would argue that MOOCs never went away (though there was no shortage of articles declaring that MOOCs are dead). In any event, there is no denying their surge of popularity over the last 18 months, for obvious reasons. This is a good thing, and not just for MOOCs, as it's introducing people to online elarning in a way that isn't merely remote learning (aka 'lectures by Zoom'). And MOOCs are leading people to higher education. "As the boundaries between continuing education and for-credit learning blur further, more MOOCs will be accepted for transfer into diploma and degree programs."
