Online Program Management: A view of the market landscape

By Phil Hill. Posted on June 8, 2016

We’re trying to get a better handle on the messy market of so-called “Online Program Management” vendors. This is our first cut. We could use your help improving it.

Georgia Tech and Udacity MOOC Degree: Missing targets but still worth watching

By Phil Hill. Posted on December 14, 2015

Melissa Korn wrote an article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal giving a progress report on that Georgia Tech / Udacity MOOC degree (the master’s in computer science). The Georgia Tech online computer-science program is relatively massive: It has 2,789 students enrolled this semester, compared with 312 in the campus-based version. It’s on track to […]

LinkedIn: I Told You So (Sorta)

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on April 11, 2015

In December 2012, I tweeted: Let it be known that I was the first to predict that Coursera will be acquired by LinkedIn. — Michael Feldstein (@mfeldstein67) December 5, 2012 At the time, Coursera was the darling of online ed startups. Since then, it has lost its way somewhat, while Lynda.com has taken off like […]

Partial Transcript: Richard Levin (new Coursera CEO) on Charlie Rose

By Phil Hill. Posted on April 23, 2014

I have written two posts recently about Coursera’s appointment of the former president of Yale as the company’s new CEO, with the implicit argument that this move represents a watershed moment for commercial MOOCs. In particular, Coursera seems likely to become the third generation of Richard Levin’s dream, following AllLearn and Open Yale Courses. I’ve […]

Coursera and edX Hire New Executives: What about online experience?

By Phil Hill. Posted on March 24, 2014

Today’s big news is the concurrent change in leadership at two of the big three MOOC providers. First, Coursera announced they had hired Richard Levin, former president of Yale University, to be the company’s new CEO. Besides being a big-name college executive, Levin also led (or at least was president during) the development of Open […]
