Examining the "M" in MOOC

As the rise of open-access learning opportunities through technology -- including massive open online courses (MOOCs) -- continues, it becomes essential to understand both their strengths and limitations as educational experiences. To open that discussion, Adjunct Lecturer Justin Reich, Ed.D.'12, is teaching a new course this semester, Massive: The Future of Learning at Scale, in which students explore these environments and the technologies being used by "creating [their] own networked learning community."

In this edition of the Harvard EdCast, Reich -- the Richard L. Menschel HarvardX Research Fellow, based in the Office of the President and Provost at Harvard University -- reflects on the design process of his new course and what makes it unique.
