Ten universities from Brandeis and Duke to Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, and Washington University in St. Louis are pulling together to launch a new program that delivers credit-bearing online courses to students that may or may not be enrolled in their own institutions. Semester Online, as it’s called, will feature real-time and asynchronous activities to emulate the kinds of digital courses currently offered by all of the participants. But at the same time, by opening the class offerings to students outside of a given institution’s admission walls, the program also bears some resemblance to MOOCs–massive open online courses.
