The value of MOOC...

Got MOOC?

The article below provides some details on the value that Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) can provide.  As a manager/supervisor I personally enjoying hiring those who are intellectually curious and lifelong learners.  They always seems to be more engaged, look for innovative ways to solve problems and are overall more well-rounded.  MOOCs are a great way to complement your primary skills and differentiate yourself from others seeking similar roles/positions. Most importantly, did I forget to mention that they are free?!  Where else can you get a tenured college professor to unveil decades of his/her education and research for you for free?
