Is ‘massive open online research’ (MOOR) the next frontier for education?
"The goal of this class is to make you fall in love with bioinformatics" --- Prof. Pavel Pevzner
October 3, 2013
UC San Diego is launching the first major online course that prominently features “massive open online research” (MOOR).
In “Bioinformatics Algorithms — Part 1,” UC San Diego computer science and engineering professor Pavel Pevzner and his graduate students are offering a course on Coursera that combines research with a MOOC (massive open online course) for the first time.
“All students who sign up for the course will be given an opportunity to work on specific research projects under the leadership of prominent bioinformatics scientists from different countries, who have agreed to interact and mentor their respective teams.”/.../
