Having accomplished the tsunami wave riding disruption of higher education, Coursera is not resting on their laurels or profit line. No, the crushing of the archaic system is more than imminent, it’s cruising at 35,000 feet. In December 2015 the Learning Really Begins.

With all the buzz about the Grand MOOC Pivot of Saint Sebastian that word could not help but transport me back to my 1970s youth and the classic game of Pivot Pool (I had this game, but to date, have never had a real pool table). cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared […]
Just because I can… I got to thinking about Morgan Spurlock’s self experiment on fast food after reading the ever rapier like Jonathan Rees Sentence First– verdict afterwards: What kind of professor “experiments” in front of tens of thousands of students?
