As the 2016 contest approaches, the University of New Hampshire plans to use the latest Internet technology to educate students far beyond its campus through a Massive Open Online Course exploring the state’s treasured first-in-the-nation tradition. Starting in the fall of 2015, enrollment will be expanded in a class the university has offered for the last several election cycles. Those participating from afar will be able to watch lectures and presentations from classroom guests and join in on discussions, said Dante Scala, who will teach the class along with fellow political science professor Andrew Smith, director of the UNH Survey Center. Students will hear from political activists, candidates and journalists who descend on the state every four years. The class will be the University of New Hampshire’s first MOOC. Unlike those enrolled on campus, participants elsewhere won’t receive credit for the class, and the university hasn’t decided yet whether they will be asked to complete assignments or take tests or how much they will be charged.
