Coursera Survey Pins Down MOOC Benefits — from campustechnology.com by Dian Schaffhauser
Excerpt:
More than seven in 10 learners report career benefits and more than six in 10 report educational benefits from completing massive open online courses (MOOCs). Participants from developing countries and particularly those with lower socioeconomic status and less education appear to be more likely to report benefits from pursuing MOOCs.
Those results and others come out of the first major research survey done among Coursera learners and reported in the Harvard Business Review.
