Ohio State University, in the past reluctant to offer online courses, is now part of the massive open online course movement – known as MOOC. OSU announced last month it would join Coursera, which offers free non-credit online classes. Coursera added 17 new university partners for a total of 33. Some of the top institutions in the country, including Princeton University, Stanford University, Duke University and Johns Hopkins University, will offer classes through Coursera. “You’re known by your partners, and this is the College of Cardinals,” OSU President E. Gordon Gee told the New York Times. “It’s some of the best universities in the country.”
