QM for MOOCs: Results of QM Reviews of Gates Foundation-Funded MOOCs

Over the spring and summer of 2013, QM conducted reviews of 14 basic college and pre-college (developmental) MOOCs funded by the Gates Foundation. This session will provide an analysis of the outcomes and discuss the implications. As these are the first reviews QM has conducted on MOOCs, they offer the first insight on  whether such MOOCs can meet quality design standards, incorporate proven methods of effective online instruction, and be effective for different learners.
