The CSUMB's President's Speaker Series kicked off last week with a talk by Candace Thille, director of the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) at Carnegie Mellon University.
Thille's specializes in applying results from research about learning to the design of open web-based learning or MOOCs (massive open online courses) which are all the rage right now. Most major, prestigious universities have added these type of courses (Harvard, Yale, Stanford) to their curriculum, something's that's really turning higher education upside down.
CSUMB's President Eduardo Ochoa is enthusiastic about the possibilities of revamping education using new technology tools.
