Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have become the talk of academe, with many colleges and universities debating whether
they should start them or join one of the consortia offering the courses.
But what of colleges that don’t plan to offer their own MOOCs?
Are there ways they can use MOOCs or MOOC-like approaches to enhance their curriculum in ways that are consistent with their institutional missions?
On Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 2 p.m. EST, Inside Higher Ed presents “MOOCs for the Rest of Us,” a webinar led by two experts from the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education focusing on how colleges can consider these issues.
Information Technology and Services (ITS), in collaboration with the iSchool, invites you to a free, live presentation of this webinar in 347 Hinds Hall (the Katzer Collaboratory). Registration is not required, but seating is limited, so arrive early.

W. Joseph King is executive director of the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education as well as vice president for innovation at Southwestern University. Previously, he was executive director of Connexions.
Michael Nanfito is associate director of NITLE. He previously served as director of instructional technology at the University of Puget Sound.
