Have you thought about learning a new skill like programming or brushing up your creative skillset in filmmaking? Are you naturally curious about why and how everything works?

Together with the General Education Unit, the Technology-Enriched Learning Initiative team will organize a two-day event on October 5 and October 6 to discuss the power of the Internet in making education open and accessible to all. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a growing trend worldwide with educational content made openly available to virtually anyone who has access to the Internet. Active practitioners in the field of e-learning will discuss what massive open online courses (MOOCs) are and what they can do for you. A film screening of the award-winning documentary, Ivory Tower, will get you to question the value of higher education and open your eyes to alternative paths of learning. Facilitators will also share their experience with MOOCs and offer insight into its potential to reach new heights in student learning.
