    "Offering free taster courses online is a no-brainer." (Vice-Chancellor David Bell - Reading University)
    If it was a no-brainer, why did it take so long? :jester:

    Well, at least they're laying the tracks for the "Euro-MOOC Express." It had to come. I'm sure they're watching all the US suppliers intently, to learn from both the successes and the hiccups over here.

    I wish them every success.

    "I encourage all our institutions to explore the opportunities offered by new modes of technology, such as MOOCs. This will keep the UK ahead in the global race to deliver education in worldwide markets." - David Willetts, UK Universities Minister

    Hey -- is the UK ahead? Are they sure? Who said? :question:
