The MOOCseum is an online learning
model designed to allow a large
number of people to access, discuss,
create and collaborate with one
another around a curated museum
exhibit. The MOOCseum will provide a unique
interactive and collaborative opportunity
for interested parties to engage with the
exhibition through moderated discussion,
guest speakers, exhibit-specific knowledge
curation, and digital artifact creation and
collaboration.
