This is an article about the development of cMOOCs - only they're being called "MOOC 2.0" and being touted as a new invention. Because that's how the world works. And, frankly, I applaude the initiative. "Many conventional MOOCs are developed and designed for Western teaching and learning experiences, says [Professor Auh Yoon-il of Kyung Hee Cyber University], the lead project designer for MOOC 2.0. 'But the general consensus here [among those working on MOOC 2.0] is that MOOCs education must be a collective effort from all parts of the world.'  What is important, according to Auh, is that to avoid a 'type of neo-colonialism', receiving countries must collaborate in devising the MOOCs their students will study." More coverage from Korea's Joongang Daily. And here is the Kyung Hee MOOC 2.0 website.
