MOOCs
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:OpenVentures/OpenEducation
Hi Christine,
I have enrolled in several MOOCs over the years. I took one from John Hopkins University (via Coursera) about vaccine trials back when I worked in research ethics, and I found the content very valuable. I have enrolled in several since, but have not completed any, and found the content fairly variable in quality. I think that it really depends as to the instructor and the format of the course. I personally feel more value is derived from accredited education, at least in my career, but that's probably because I work as an academic!
