--001a11c3ec7eb64c7004ef5aba4c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello Senthil, Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Unlike some causing panic about M.O.O.C.s, I believe we have only scratched the surface of what is possible. I encourage folks to take a few. It is a great addition to your portfolio. Especially, if one of the Professors you are interested in is teaching a class, you would do a great service to yourself by taking their MOOC. Check out this blog for some good points: http://mooctalk.org You could also follow my strategy. Understanding the commitment that MOOCs require, I am starting with familiar and easy territory doing courses on ecology, political philosophy and sustainability. It formalizes some of my knowledge, gives me rhythm and a sense of completion and gets my feet wet.
