UK Online Learning Is Finding Its Feet After Stuttering Start - Nick Morrison, Forbes

Social learning platform FutureLearn revealed today that it is partnering with a leading university to launch online-only postgraduate degrees. Heralded as the first time a MOOC (massive open online course) provider has offered several fully online degrees entirely on its platform, it will also give students the opportunity to take short taster courses before committing to a degree. FutureLearn will team up with Australia’s Deakin University to offer degrees in cyber security, information technology, financial planning, humanitarian and development action, property, and diabetes education from early next year. http://www.forbes.com/sites/nickmorrison/2016/12/08/online-learning-is-finding-its-feet-after-stuttering-start/#56c217d15493
