College council to

weigh in on granting

credit for online work

The American Council on Education, which represents most of the USA’s college and university presidents, is preparing to weigh in on

massive open online courses (MOOCs), a new way of teaching and learning that has taken higher education by storm.

At issue is whether the quality of courses offered through MOOCs are equivalent to courses offered in traditional classrooms. Approval from the organization could enhance the value of MOOCs to universities and lead to lower tuition costs for students, who could earn degree credit for passing a particular course.

The popularity of MOOCs, which have been around for barely a year, has intensified. Top faculty at dozens of the world’s elite colleges and universities

are teaching hundreds of online courses to millions of students around the world. The courses are

free but don’t count toward traditional degree programs.

“MOOCs are an intriguing, innovative new approach that holds much promise for engaging students ... as well as for helping colleges and universities broaden their reach,” says Molly Corbett Broad, president of the council. “But as with any new approach, there are many questions about long-term potential, and ACE is eager to help answer them.”

Part of the council’s plan, announced Tuesday and beginning next year, involves teams of faculty that will examine the content and rigor of particular courses to evaluate whether they should be recommended for college credit. Central to that activity is a division of the council, called ACE CREDIT, that was created in1974 to help adults gain credit for courses and exams taken outside traditional degree programs. The team makes recommendations, but it is up To individual schools whether to accept the course for credit.

The initiative, to be funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, also will involve research on the impact of MOOCs. A task force will discuss the potential for MOOCs to improve student learning and boost college attainment levels. A pilot project

involving a small number of colleges and universities aims to explore whether MOOCs are successful in

engaging adult learners.

Some universities already incorporate MOOCs into their programs. Last month, Antioch University in

Los Angeles announced a contract with Coursera, one of the most prominent MOOC providers, to offer course credit for certain courses. In addition to taking the online Coursera course, students also would work with a faculty member on campus.

Coursera co-founder Andrew Ng says the potential to earn credit “is a significant step forward,” but added that it’s too early to know how evaluators

Or universities will respond. “This is a new thing for all of us.”
