Peter Herman's note is a timely reminder of ongoing discussions about MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) nationally, and indeed in many developed and developing countries. We are pleased to announce that CTL and ITS will be hosting a lunch presentation on MOOCS this spring by Dr. Amy Collier for SDSU faculty interested in the implications of this approach. For more about Dr. Collier, Director of Stanford University's Center for Teaching and Learning, see http://ctl.stanford.edu/about/amy-collier.html CTL's schedule and registration system for spring lunches will be available soon. In the meantime, please save the date if you are interested.

CFA Report:
Udacity, San Jose State to partner for online education pilot program
CSU Chancellor Timothy White joined Gov. Jerry Brown, the San Jose State campus president
and Sebastian Thrun, the head of an online education company, to announce a pilot online
teaching project at a news conference on January 15. Three courses (six online course sections)
will be offered to 50 matriculated San Jose State students and 50 community college and high
school students. The curriculum and teaching is being prepared by San Jose State faculty
working together with Udacity, a new company offering free, very large online courses
commonly known as MOOCs (Massively Open Online Courses). This experimental project is
designed, in part, to see if the drop-out and failure rates (as high as 90%) in so many online
courses can be improved. ... just the start of the article"\
