Since launching, online learning startup Coursera has focused on partnerships with elite institutions. But its latest cohort of partners includes state university systems interested in using MOOCs to improve completion rates, quality and access. Working with 10 state schools, including the State University of New York, the University of Colorado System and the University of New Mexico, Coursera said it plans to explore various uses for massive open online courses (MOOCs). Instead of just creating open courses for anyone, the institutions plan to use MOOCs for blended learning experiences (that combine online and offline instruction), as well as to improve completion rates, quality and access at their schools.
