Here a MOOC. There a MOOC. Everywhere a MOOC MOOC.
Ever
take a MOOC or part of a MOOC? If so did it change your life or some
small portion of it? Well, if so...two brilliant and hardworking alums
of my program in IST, Meina Zhu from Wayne State University and Min
Young Doo from Sejong University in Seoul, and I are conducting a study
on MOOC learners' career adaptability. The survey takes 10 minutes.
If
you take it, I'll send you 3 virtual cookies and 5 virtual dark chocolates from
Blomington Chocolate Company.
