The push into online education by Australian universities is building steam, with Monash and La Trobe recently announcing ambitious plans. Monash University has joined the worldwide rush to offer massive open online courses, or MOOCs, partnering with FutureLearn, a British company owned by Open University, to offer free education online. And La Trobe University will build on its success with free courses on Apple’s iTunes U by launching a fee-paying unit titled The Ancient Roman World. The unit will attract academic credit and make this first-year course, offered on campus, available to students anywhere in the world.
