Sub-communities > MOOCs and SPOCs

Background
Welcome to the Centre for Sustainability and Excellence for developing MOOCs and SPOCs, which continue the efforts of the previous steering committee as be a “change agent” working through the university and stimulate/inspire various departments to consider adopting more on blended learning and experiment with innovative learning pedagogies. Though this group has already demonstrated very strong trust, growth and cohesion since its unofficial inception some 2 years ago, it is now time to expand in order to lead PolyU to another era of success.
