<p>In yet another NYT shout (I think next to Barnard, Wesleyan must be the New York Times’ favorite LAC), Wesleyan’s experiment with MOOCs gets some love:
Q. I am now taking a MOOC entitled Social Psychology from Wesleyan University, and it is outstanding, rivaling my university undergraduate classes. Over 100,000 students are taking the same course worldwide. I am grateful for the professor’s dedication and commitment to a rich, personalized, multimedia learning experience. What is the business model for this class and all MOOC educational experiences? I can’t see how this level of planning, preparation, production, implementation, instruction, supervision, and evaluation can be sustainable. –Brent Green, Denver, Colorado
