Dan Grossman of the University of Washington discusses his experiences and insights on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), evaluating their impact, pedagogical strengths, and challenges compared to traditional university instruction.
Dan Grossman has used MOOCs in his courses at the University of Washington, where he is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering. He shared his experiences from the past year, focusing on his view as an instructor trying to reach a broad audience with a challenging elite university course, during an ATLAS Speaker Series presentation on Sept. 9, 2013. Grossman argued that MOOCs are impactful, an enormous amount of work, superior to textbooks in almost every way, yet superior to conventional university courses in fewer ways.
