Massive open online courses, or MOOCs, were expected to help democratize education. Now, new information is available on who is using them. The University of Pennsylvania recently conducted a survey of more than 400,000 active students in courses offered by the university through Coursera, the biggest MOOC provider. They received nearly 35,000 responses, and the results provide much-needed information on who is participating and why. Gayle Christensen and Brandon Alcorn are the project managers for global initiatives at Penn. They join us to talk about the survey.
