MOOC Tracker – Never Miss a Course
Learners can use the Follow button to receive notification of upcoming courses
400 Universities/Institutions, 2500 Instructors, 1800 courses
In October 2011, three courses were offered online for free by Stanford professors. More than 100,000 students signed up for each of these courses. These courses were later known as “MOOCs” and have been growing rapidly (as seen in the above graph). And its not just the big three anymore – Coursera, Udacity, and Edx. Providers, educational institutions from all over the world are offering MOOCs or gearing up to offer MOOCs. Class Central aggregates MOOCs from all these different sources and makes it really easy for your to find the right MOOC for you.
55% of all MOOC courses do not have an upcoming start date
One of the big differences between MOOCs and previously offered online courses is that MOOCs have a schedule – they have an start date and end date. There are few self-paced courses, but they only make up 6% of all MOOCs offered. Unfortunately a big majority of these courses do not have a predictable schedule. A whooping 55% of all MOOC courses do not have an upcoming start date. So if you missed a course or for some reason cannot take it, you have no idea when it will be offered next.
MOOC Tracker – Never miss a course
370,000+ courses being tracked with MOOC Tracker
MOOC Tracker was created to solve these two problems – rapid growth of courses and unpredictable schedules. It is a notification/reminder service for MOOCs. More than 100,000 courses are already being tracked by Class Central users.

On Class Central, you can build your own catalog of courses. Add courses to your personal list: “Interested”, “Enrolled”, “Completed”,”Audited” etc. With MOOC Tracker, you can get notified when a course in your catalog is about to start or if the course is offered again.

ALL MOOCs should be self paced! without schedules, period. People are really busy and ones ability to learning should not be infringed upon by setting “old school” rules to the new learning platforms of today. Why wouldn’t they be all self paced? Are we little children that need our hands held? Of course not. If I have a week off and want to burn through a MOOC I shouldn’t be ” oh crud, that ones over, or that one doesn’t start for 2 months ” screw all that, MOOC DEVS pull yer heads out of your ars es and get with the program. Why create an immensely powerful learning platform only to hobble it with old concepts.
ALL MOOCs should be free! to audit and only be charged for accreditation. Testing should employ a “progress/not yet, keep trying” philosophy instead of the old “pass/fail” pressure cooker that we all grew up with and despise. I personally do not give two flyin farts about accreditation or some $50 piece of paper , I want the information, now, on my terms and free! If you are young and building a career, than the accreditation becomes useful, but for most professionals looking to upgrade skills it is mostly irrelevant.
ALL MOOCs should be eternal! Once the course is constructed, let it go ” fly be free “. MOOC monetization is long term and based on accreditation and to a lesser degree advertising. The only time course material should be taken down is if it has been replaced with updated or corrected material. If I want to take a python 2.7 course 20 years from now , that should not be an issue. This is why books still rule.

Good points .
1. MOOCs must be full college courses same as on campus course.
2. MOOCs must be developed by only top 50 or so universities. Ok say st most 200 colleges .
3. MOOC is npt the right acronym . It should be NEW ONLINE. Or NOL. .
4. Still I thsnk MoOOCs creators . They made online populare .

Nothing can be free forever.
Then I say. A MOOC must be at $ 100 or so priced. Cost
D less than that .
