Interesting to hear feedback on MOOCs. It made me consider that MOOCs are still very new and experimental. If the average quality and sophistication of of the university courses I've taken is representative of general standards worldwide, I think it may take some time for academics to rise the challenges and opportunities of the new format, and develop systems that make sense of the new format and deliver a top-quality presentation. But the breakout courses are going to set new standards as canonical courses of the global classroom.<p>Are there any other similar reviews of other MOOCs around?
Don't forget to sign up for the Underwater Basketweaving class from Coursera ;-) <a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/basketweave" rel="nofollow">https://www.coursera.org/course/basketweave</a>
I couldn't figure out a way to access the contents of the course beyond the syllabus [<a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/thinkagain" rel="nofollow">https://www.coursera.org/course/thinkagain</a>].<p>Is anyone aware of an archive of lectures available on coursera or a 3rd-party website?
