Credit for MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) Program Stalls

The Chronicle of Higher Education (http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/credit-for-moocs-effort-hits-a-snag/49573) reports that a program to give college credit for selected MOOC is not succeeding because students didn't sign-up. I wonder how many students at those colleges were eligible for the credit. Maybe students could have taken one of the MOOC after the program was announced, but I wonder if it would be too disruptive for an on campus student to take a MOOC when the student is already present on campus to take courses. Being on campus probably indicated a preference for on campus courses. In any case, the program is being modified. ( I posted a similar comment on my website: http://onlinegraduateschool.tripod.com/blog1.htm, and on the CHE comments.)

Recent Additions to my Find Your Online Graduate School Website.

I recently added links to the Adler School of Professional Psychology to my website. It is a nonprofit independent graduate school located in Chicago. I have read that this school will be changing it's name to Adler University soon. The school was named in honor of Alfred Adler who was a great, historic psychology theorist in community psychology, so this school seems likely to be a good choice for many. The programs offered online include Master degree programs in Industrial/Organizational Psychology; Psychology/Military Psychology; and Criminality. Another thing I like about this school is that it offers an APA accredited doctoral program on campus, and it seems to me that the doctoral program might be a logical next step after a student completed the Master's online. The implication of the APA approved doctoral degree program is that the faulty and school have a high level of credibility in the psychology community. APA only accredits doctoral programs, per ce, however schools that have such an accredited doctoral program gain credibility overall.

I also recently added links to the American University . Long ago I lived in the Washington, DC area and I was familiar with American University, which is very well known in that area. The online degree programs I list on my website for them are Master degrees in Strategic Communication, and Teaching English as a Foreign Language. There is also a Graduate Certificate in Project Monitoring and Evaluation. IMO someone who is working for the federal government in the DC area might benefit hugely from earning their Master from American University since it does have that positive profile and reputation in the National Capitol region.
