"MOOCs recently took a big step forward when the American Council on Education (ACE) recommended 5 Coursera classes for accreditation. ACE membership consists of more than 1,800
universities. The recommendation means that accredited universities may soon accept Coursera credits towards completion of a degree. One possible scenario is that Coursera would charge a fee to verify the identity of a student and proctor a final exam using a web camera." (p.6)

The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse developed a math MOOC. Using a $50,000 grant from
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, UW La Crosse developed the open math course.
UW La Crosse wanted the course to serve high school students, those within the University system that wanted remediation, individuals preparing to re-enter a university, and those preparing to take a major gateway exam. The class roughly follows the same curriculum as the on-campus class MTH
Intermediate Algebra. (p. 7)
Okay, I have downloaded my reading material - will print it and try to magic up some time to read it!
