The University of Sydney has two new MOOcs (via Coursera), Innovation through design (Martin Tomitsch and Cara Wrigey) and Design Strategy (Eric Knight). What makes them especially significant is that they are funded by a NSW government programme for entrepreneurs and small business. Such support, as CMM regularly bangs-on, is a big future for MOOCs – providing government with a way to provide information and assistance to the community at a fraction of the cost of broadcast media.
Campus Morning Mail is an independent newsletter written and published by Stephen Matchett, formerly a long-serving journalist at The Australian newspaper. The daily e-news column receives no undisclosed funding or other assistance from any organisation or individual.
