MIT U LAB Returns for MOOC
MIT Sloan School of Management course, Transforming Business, Society, and Self with U.Lab, has returned to Mooc.org, part of the not-for-profit enterprise composed of 30 leading global institutions that aims to transform online and on-campus learning on an open source platform, for another session. The course, taught by MIT’s Otto Scharmer, was reviewed as “eye-opening” or “life-changing” by 88 percent of the students who had previously completed it.
According to edX, ” U.Lab has inspired the first-known use of a MOOC by a government as a platform for citizens to shape the issues that matter to them, it has been used in management teams of the world’s leading NGOs, and it is now being used in 42 Impact Hubs worldwide – by locally-rooted, globally connected communities of change makers to catalyze systemic change.”
