University of Michigan offers first student-only massive open online course - Jeremy Allen, MLive
The University of Michigan recently took another step forward in its push for innovating teaching as the school launched its first U-M-only massive open online course -- a health-related class open to all levels of students across all three U-M campuses. The course is titled "Understanding and Improving U.S. Healthcare: Special U-M Student Edition," and is taught by Dr. Matthew Davis, a professor of pediatrics and communicable diseases and of internal medicine, and other courses. Approximately 800 students are enrolled in the course, which doesn't surprise Matthews, who expected the course to be a popular choice among students interested in the MOOC model.
