Khan/Koller Review

-When you visited the site, was it something you envisioned using yourself? 
Yes I have used this site many times to help me gain a better understanding or certain math concepts.
 
- Is it something you could imagine encouraging your students to use? 
I would encourage my students to use this site because they main understand the methods there better than my own methods when it comes to understanding a subject.
 
-After perusing some of the videos on the site, did you think they were easy to follow and learn from?
Very easy to follow the color coding really helped.
 
-Do you believe that Salman Khan is right when he says that in the future, we will rely more on "credentialing" through the use of online courses? Do you think this style of education makes learning more accessible for more students? If so, why? If not, Why?
Yes I think online learning is best because students can learn and still have a personal life. Many people don't go to college because they can't see themselves learning in a university type atmosphere or they feel like they wont fit in with that crowd. The online learning is best for busy learners with families and jobs.




-When you explore the coursera course offerings, what course looks most interesting to you?
 

Conditions of War and Peace with Professor,Kiichi Fujiwara

 
-Does Columbus State accept Coursera transfer credits?

no
 
-Do Coursera courses appear to be more challenging or more interesting thank those you've experienced before? If yes, why? If not, why? Either way, could your opinion have something to do with WHO is teaching the Coursera courses?
No it seems the same as any other college level class, the only challenges would be they shorter weeks to get the work completed.
 
- Do you think that MOOCs (massive open online courses) are the "wave of the future"? How do you think MOOCs might change the way a student like you would receive their education?

A student could learn anywhere they wouldn't be confined to one institute.
