The University of Queensland (UQ) will again run its hugely popular massive open online course on English Grammar and Style, which 50,000 students enrolled in when it was first offered last year. The eight-week course will be run again starting on July 26 and promises to show students how to apply grammar and syntax to “produce coherent, economical, and compelling writing”. So far it has 10,000 enrolments, a number which is likely to rise sharply in the weeks up to the start date. So popular is the course that it is currently the highlighted MOOC on the edX website.
