Note: Earlier this week, my local NPR station featured a big conversation about Disruptive Innovation in Higher Education. Guests included Salman Khan (Khan Academy), Sebastian Thrun (Udacity), Anant Agarwal (MITx) and Ben Nelson (The Minerva Project). You can listen to their wide-ranging conversation here.
OYC released 7 new courses! You’re missing Prof. Paul Freedman’s HIST 210: The Early Middle Ages, 284‑1000.
This is a great and very informative write up enhancing all o our knowledge. We expect such write ups in future as well.
Thanks for giving the opportunity to people to have access to your courses on line. I followed the introducion to psychology and the psychology of food last year. Both courses were so interesting :)
