Where Do Journalism Schools Stand on MOOCs, Online Classes? - Zach C. Cohen, Media/Shift

How will we teach the next generation of the journalists? Such is the question raised in PBS MediaShift’s “Back to J-School” special, and we want you to help us find out. Will J-schools flip the curriculum, focusing more on digital skills than journalism basics? Will they flip the classroom, moving most learning online and turning class time into lab time? Or will they embrace MOOCs and other forms of online class offerings as a component of the future of journalism education? After last week’s podcast on journalism education, Mediatwits regular Andrew Lih of American University was curious which schools had embraced online learning and MOOCs and which had banned them (so far). http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2013/08/list-where-do-journalism-schools-stand-on-moocs-online-classes
