Wake Tech’s free online algebra course gets powerful response - MARTHA QUILLIN, News Observer

The course at Wake Tech this year with the highest enrollment – by a landslide – had no classroom, no meetings, no deadlines, was not for credit and the nearly 17,500 students who signed up for it paid no tuition. But the class may prove to be invaluable in helping students get ready for community college. Wake Tech’s Introductory Algebra Review is free and open to anyone who wants to take it, anywhere in the world, at any time. Rolled out in May 2013, it was the college’s first massive open online course, or MOOC, testing the usefulness of letting students choose the material they need to review and the pace at which they want to work through it. http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/05/25/3887767/wake-techs-free-online-algrebra.html?sp=/99/102/
