In India, MOOCs Are Now Part of the Education System
Apr 03, 2019
One of the things that has made me happy about MOOCs is not the way some entrepreneurs turned them into multi-million dollar businesses, but how they have really become a fixture of the education systems in less privileged regions of the world. This impact is demonstrated through stories like this. This story describes SWAYAM, which stands for Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds and means self in Hindi. Students can sign up for courses on SWAYAM, which are free to take, and upon completion, have them count toward their degree. Awesome.
