Gates Foundation promotes MOOCs
The clearest path to college credit for massive open online courses may soon be through credit recommendations from the American Council of Education (ACE), which announced that it will work with Coursera to determine whether as many as 8-10 MOOCs should be worth credit. The council is also working on a similar arrangement with EdX. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is funding that effort as part of $3 million in new, wide-reaching MOOC-related grants.
