Counting MOOCs of the morning

The feds allocate $9.5m for maths education

The University of Adelaide will work with Education Services Australia to create “a series” of MOOCs for foundation to Year Ten maths teachers, plus a resources hub for school communities. They will roll-out from year’s end.

“We have a responsibility to give Australian students a strong foundation in areas of expected employment growth and demand including science, technology, engineering and mathematics,” Education Minister Dan Tehan says.

CMM wonders what universities with maths teaching courses will think.
