Community MOOCs for Computing Technologies and Applications
SESSION: Community MOOCs for Computing Technologies and Applications
EVENT TYPE: Birds of a Feather
TIME: 12:15PM - 1:15PM
SESSION LEADER(S):Geoffrey Fox
ROOM:705/707/709/711
ABSTRACT:
This BOF discusses the possible value of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) for training and education in computing technologies and applications (HPC, Clouds, Software, Algorithms, Applications, Infrastructure, Systems Administration, Computational Science). We will explore community interest in building and using such MOOCs in a new X-MOOC repository (which could be set up as a result of this BOF). Speakers will briefly describe using and building MOOCs including open source learning management software from Google and EdX. Comments from partners with commercial companies Udacity and Coursera will be presented. We will discuss how to support computing laboratories associated with MOOCs.
