How to increase MOOC completion rates - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

St. George's University has increased the pass rate of students in its public health massive open online course by more than 500%, and nearly 10 times the national completion rate for similar distance learning modules. The course uses flipped classroom models, peer review and industrial infusion to make lessons more engaging and enriched for students. The model follows a similar approach taken by Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley in its graduate business courses. http://www.educationdive.com/news/how-to-increase-mooc-completion-rates/424532/
