The University of Notre Dame is launching several online non-credit courses that will be available for free to anyone in the world. The classes are called MOOCs — short for massive open online courses — and they’re a hot development in higher education. Many colleges, including Indiana and Purdue universities, have started offering them in the past few years. The first of Notre Dame’s MOOCs, titled I “Heart” Stats, an introductory course to statistics, will start April 15. Other upcoming offerings: Understanding Wireless, starting May 18; Jesus in Scripture and Tradition, June 1; and Math in Sports, June 15.
