& AppliedScience and the Lindner College of Business had both launched new online degree programswithin the year and both were interested in gaining experience with MOOCs. There is a historyof academic collaboration between the two colleges6 and both work with a third party, AcademicPartnerships, on instructional design, strategic planning, and enrollment management.In consultation with the Provost’s Office the colleges adopted this approach to the MOOC: The course topic would be appropriate for both the MBA degree and the Master of Engineering degree programs. The course would be collaboratively developed between the colleges and faculty from both colleges would participate. The course would be offered in a half
package and the job offer itselfinto consideration, rather than focusing in on salary alone, when evaluating any potential offer. Finally, in wrapping up the course, expert speakers are invited to the class to discussissues related to their first year on the job. The concept of career advancement is equallyimportant to a graduating senior as landing their perfect job. Topics run the gamut fromconducting oneself professionally, how to get ahead in a cut-throat environment to maintaininggood credit and responsible financial planning. Throughout the course students are encouraged to work with each other, rather thanagainst each other in their job search. In effect, the course becomes an informal “job club”, asstudents are given a
