Google MOOC info

Hello All,

I thought you might be interested in this:

This message is brought to you by the CSTA member listserv.

Google just announced a new research experiment to open source the code they used to run their recent MOOC, Power Searching with Google (http://www.powersearchingwithgoogle.com/). Course Builder (https://code.google.com/p/course-builder/) contains software and instructions for presenting course material (https://code.google.com/p/course-builder/wiki/ImplementCourseMaterial), including student activities, basic assessments and instructions for using other Google products to create a course community (https://code.google.com/p/course-builder/wiki/ManageCommunity) and to evaluate the effectiveness of your course. To develop Course Builder users will be experienced course designers, and will have basic familiarity with HTML and JavaScript.  This could be an interesting way to explore the use of the cloud to provide learners with a self paced learning environment as well as real time feedback on understanding.  

For more information on this research project please check out the Google research blog (http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/).

Hallo Theresa,

I attended, similar to Angela,  the Google MOOC Power Searching course and wondered which tool they used for the course design. Thanks for sharing this information, which I will definitely follow up.
