It's one of the best parts of my job: I get to dig deep on fashionable topics. For a curious person like me, it's like being in heaven.
I've been wanting to find out more about MOOCs and what the buzz was about. The opportunity to learn more came when Sebastian Thrun, founder of a Massively Open Online Course company, spoke about launching his company Udacity.com during the President Speaker series at CSUMB on Wednesday. I wrote a story about the event, but naturally, you can't even begin to touch the surface of MOOCs on a 20-inch story.
So if you're curious, here's more. Enjoy!
