Penn State is jumping on the bandwagon with other global institutions and implementing Massive Open Online Courses, otherwise known as MOOCs β€” noncredited free online college-level courses aimed at large-scale participation. Vice President for Penn State Outreach Craig Weidemann said the university is in the process of starting the MOOC program that will be consistent with university priorities and reputation. He said this year would be a test year. β€œIt’s great for innovation and access to knowledge, but will be challenging finding student success,” he said.
