Last Fall, Wellesley announced its plan to partner with EdX and produce its first online, MOOC courses.
Even prior to that decision, I was curious about the development of MOOCs and online teaching:
Between two professors: Pros and Cons of Online Teaching
More thoughts on Wellesley College and Online Learning
My curiosity and interest in this development is moving forward in the form of my own MOOC.
This coming Fall, my Introduction to Human Evolution course will be Wellesley’s first online course. You can find the trailer for the course at EdX’s Wellesley homepage. Wellesley also has more information on its homepage.
It is unfortunate that I am in the field in Kazakhstan right now and largely away from internet access, but I will return shortly and have much to say about the course, my desire to teach it, and what you might expect from it once it goes live.
In the meantime, welcome to Anthropology 207x!
