Thanks for the substantial addition!

A description of recent architectural amendments to the Bronx Library Center, a branch of the New York Public Library, foreshadows possibilities for the future: “The library’s layout provides, as well, a powerful symbol of our new media landscape: at the center stands the screen of the Internet-connected computer; the printed word has been pushed to the margins.”

SCUP’s initiatives and publications are innovative and incredibly relevant! I’ll stay tuned for the digital publication.

Great article, Evan! Online courses definitely make knowledge more accessible, while still providing rigor and structure, as well as a learning community.

We are experimenting with MOOCs at the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) as our print publication “Planning” in now going digital. As this trend continues to grow I have to wonder how campus space will evolve and how we will begin to value/compare a certificate verses a degree from the same institution. The lines are blurring.

I thought this was a good video about MOOCs:
