Professor Anant Agarwal, President of edX, and a panel of experts, will discuss "Blow up the lecture? Is the traditional lecture on the way out?", at the Australian National University in Canberra, 2:30 PM, 26 February 2014
Register online: http://billboard.anu.edu.au/event_view.asp?id=105905 ANU is currently accepting enrolments for its first two edX on-line courses: Engaging India and Greatest Unsolved Mysteries of the Universe: https://www.edx.org/course-list/anux/allsubjects/allcourses ps: My own view is that neither lectures, nor MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), are the future of university education. Lectures, live or via video, are a useful supplement to an education program, but are not essential. Lectures, and their on-line equivalent, should be offered as an optional extra for the mainstream of education, which will be on-line, task based and text rich. -- Tom Worthington, PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
