the interesting comment “I do not view a Caltech MOOC as an attempt at mass education,” Professor Abu-Mostafa concludes – slightly overlooking the definition of the acronym. “I view it as an attempt at mass targeting of talent.”

Prof Mostafa You are 100 % right to deliver an online same as oncampus . Then that course is academically wrthwhile to attend . Rest is gimmick . To get the course together with f2fstudents is someting even I have not thou?ght of at all . It must be great . I hope all EDX members follow the same methods.
