[1]A simple search for massive open online courses (MOOCs) on Twitter will deliver a torrent of information, from headlines to insight to strong opinions on MOOCs, one of the most divisive issues in higher education.
Perusing Twitter in search of MOOC news is a bit like drinking from a waterfall: overwhelming.
That’s why eCampus News staffers have assembled a list of educators, technologists, policy experts and campus officials on Twitter who provide the latest news and insight into MOOCs and how these courses are evolving and changing the higher-ed landscape.
Please feel free to suggest other MOOC experts that you follow on Twitter. eMail managing editor Denny Carter at dcarter@ecampusnews.com or on Twitter @eCampusNews.
