I don't know whether to be impressed for flabbergasted. As this article from Inside Higher Education tells us, Arizona State will start offering the entire Freshman year through MOOCS.
MOOCs seem to be a pretty good medium for certification and professionalization classes. I'm taking a MOOC on gamification myself right now. Given the low completion rates of MOOCs, I'm not sure about a full academic years worth of work, particularly for Freshman. We'll see.

Looks like Arizona State still has to get their MOOCs for credit past the accreditation process. Sounds like I'm not the only one wondering about this.

Arizona State is moving fast. Just got this advertisement in my e-mail.
