Dear Larry and Universitians,
Nice to talk with you in WUaS monthly business meeting just now, Larry and friends.
Online Yale.edu courses -
Coursera / Yale -
It's interesting that Yale went with Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/
Here's discussion of Yale's mission for knowledge generation online - http://news.yale.edu/2012/
Since Coursera is a for-profit organization I recently heard, I want to learn more about edX's mission and licensing (https://www.edx.org/about-us)
Since the following goals and principles are from edX:
"Our goals
Expand access to education for everyone
Enhance teaching and learning on campus and online
Advance teaching and learning through research
Our principles
Nonprofit
Open source platform
Collaborative
Financially sustainable"
.. and since edX principles include being a "Nonprofit," an "Open source platform," and "Collaborative" I would think WUaS might be able to post free edX courses to our developing WUaS website/database for credit for matriculated students. Further research needed.
Sincerely,
Scott
