Teaching, Learning and the MOOC with Coursera founder Daphne Koller

Last fall, UBC announced an agreement with Coursera to provide free, publicly available non-credit courses to a worldwide audience. Courses delivered through the Coursera platform are structured after Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), an emerging delivery model predicated on providing free and open access to courses to large numbers of students.

UBC’s Centre for Teaching and Learning Technology (CTLT) will host a panel discussion on MOOCs as part of the 2013 CTLT Institute. In this panel, Coursera founder Daphne Koller, senior UBC officials and the instructors from UBC’s four-course MOOC pilot, will discuss the impacts of MOOCs as well as the faculty perspective on designing and teaching MOOCs that maximize learning.
