Anyone can sign up to learn online about Iowa caucuses with new Caucus MOOC - Lily Abromeit, The Gazette

Steffen Schmidt’s email and phone inboxes are flooded every day with questions about the Iowa caucuses. Schmidt, a professor of political science at Iowa State University, started to realize there’s a large number of people who don’t understand the caucuses and the impact they can have in deciding the next president. To help, he created ISU’s first MOOC — short for massive open online course — that will focus on how the caucuses came to be what their future may hold. http://thegazette.com/subject/news/education/higher-education/anyone-can-sign-up-to-learn-online-about-iowa-caucuses-with-new-caucus-mooc-20150608
