Nice to see that a few journals are starting to run articles on MOOCs. This is a straighforward and quite well-informed JIME article describing the state of play in MOOCs last year (2012).

I am a professional learner, employed as a Full Professor and Associate Dean, Learning & Assessment, at Athabasca University, where I research lots of things broadly in the area of learning and technology, and I teach mainly in the School of Computing & Information Systems. I am a proud Canadian, though I was born in the UK. I am married, with two grown-up children, and three growing-up grandchildren. We all live in beautiful Vancouver.
