What one has learned—not where, or how, in what sequence, at what institution, or in what period of time—is the only criterion of supreme importance.” (Charles Wedemeyer, 1981, p. 216) October 12, 2012 Radical rethink: how to design university courses in the online age, Paul, Wappett, The Conversation, Australia http://theconversation.edu.au/radical-rethink-how-to-design-university-courses-in-the-online-age-9737

MIT Data (example 1) Self-Taught on Social Media
(21-30 year old unemployed female North America)
At first my purpose was to fulfill boredom hellipAfter graduating with a MS I was faced with unemployment I took the opportunity to read blogs watch Youtube videos and more to learn about blogging and social media Since than I have become well versed in social media and other business topics and started a businesshellip I decided not to pursue a PHD because I am learning a more rapid pace Instead of spending 5 years in school I can be flexible and work on what I am learning
MIT Data (example 2) Prepares to Reenter University
(41-50 year old male Middle East)Most interesting experience of my own was my use of MIT OCW to refresh on Calculus I purchased the textbook and followed one of several calculus options on the site This was quite successful in re-introducing Calculus as a prep to re-entering college 28 years after graduation - this time to study for a Masters
MIT Data (example 3) Retiree Develops New Hobby(70+ year old female North America)
Im am avid photographer and have developed skills for developing my own website for display of my photography and books I have written that include my photographshellipIve had multiple careers from science to public administration and information technology The development of my art is a new and exciting experience

It has made my job much easier and its been easier for me to execute certain tasks making me more willing to take on bigger challenges It was also shown me how enjoyable it is to learn a computer language It opened my mind to considering possibilities in this area It also made my husband respect my ability around computers a bit more

MIT Data (example 1) Self-Taught on Social Media
(21-30 year old unemployed female North America)
At first my purpose was to fulfill boredom hellipAfter graduating with a MS I was faced with unemployment I took the opportunity to read blogs watch Youtube videos and more to learn about blogging and social media Since than I have become well versed in social media and other business topics and started a businesshellip I decided not to pursue a PHD because I am learning a more rapid pace Instead of spending 5 years in school I can be flexible and work on what I am learning
MIT Data (example 2) Prepares to Reenter University
(41-50 year old male Middle East)Most interesting experience of my own was my use of MIT OCW to refresh on Calculus I purchased the textbook and followed one of several calculus options on the site This was quite successful in re-introducing Calculus as a prep to re-entering college 28 years after graduation - this time to study for a Masters
MIT Data (example 3) Retiree Develops New Hobby(70+ year old female North America)
Im am avid photographer and have developed skills for developing my own website for display of my photography and books I have written that include my photographshellipIve had multiple careers from science to public administration and information technology The development of my art is a new and exciting experience
