[Open-education] Friday Chat: Personal experiences of MOOCs

Fri Sep 12 09:46:55 UTC 2014

Thanks for sharing .... love to hear, how people are feeling about MOOC

I completed my first course on 2011, while at beginning i enrolled 3
courses and only passed one course. It was my wonderful experience although
the course of my selection (AI) was also my college course. Sebastian Thrun
was my instructor and also the same person whose text book was following in
our university. So i must say it was very useful for my career. But as per
i know at that time there were more than 160,000 participants from 190
countries where only  23,000 students finally made it. Here i see from 2
point, first MOOC was not success coz only 15% people got successes and
second MOOC was success to provide Stanford education to 23000 students all
round the world.

Last i joined the hybrid model of Online Learning : Next Generation Leaders
Program from Internet Society which was more practical and sounds more
localized.
