Tomorrow and Friday there will be a conference here at Penn about massive online courses and their connection with international development. The conference is titled MOOCS4D. The conference will address these questions:
•
What obstacles prevent access and use of MOOCs among disadvantaged
populations at the 'bottom of the pyramid,' especially in developing
countries?
• What resources outside of MOOCs need to be mobilized to enable access to education for all?
• What opportunities can be provided by MOOCs to address the persistent inequities found worldwide?
• How may MOOCs be used to promote improved economic, health and social outcomes?
• Simply put: How can MOOCs be harnessed as a tool for development (MOOCs4D)?
Our very own Dr. Dan Wagner (Director of International Educational Development Program) is helping to spear head the conference. You can register online.
