From these, this paper will focus on three keydifferences the authors feel have a significant impact on whether MOOCs will emerge as adisruptive technology: - Mass Population - Cognitive Optimization - Market Acceptance i. Mass PopulationAs indicated by MOOC’s name, Massive, represents the volume of materials available and themassive number of people the educational materials can reach. For example a course on artificialintelligence was held in 2011 by Stanford professor S.

It isinteresting that the latter two posters assumed the proposer(s) of the new language were LGBTQ(must be outsiders!), when in fact there was an organized response from the few out LGBTQIEEE members to alter the proposed wording before adoption of the proposed changes, as theproposed language was not truly inclusive of the LGBTQ community.Sexual orientation is private/doesn’t belong in the workplace: A slightly different (thoughrelated) boundary was drawn between professional and private spheres when frequentcommenter Luke Burgess (relation to Barry Burgess unknown) suggested that sexual

As seen from the table, the mean and median scores for both groups are mostly in themiddle 90’s. The only exception is Experimental Group 2 scored in the middle 80’s for thetension test and Control Group 2 scored in the high 80’s for the beam deflection lab. There wasno improvement in the lab scores from 2013 to 2014, with the exception of the beam deflectionlab where the median score of Experimental Group 2 was statistically higher than Control Group2.

It was alsoimportant to communicate to students that reading the designated chapter(s) in advance of thediscussion session was not a requirement—students were encouraged to come regardless ofwhether they had the time (or interest) to read “Lean In.”Given the often personal nature of the discussion topics, the curriculum was intentionallydesigned with flexibility in order to be as responsive as possible to participants’ needs andrequests in real time. For instance, the early sessions included a formal time for writing injournals, a member introduction/update activity, a video introducing a professional developmentskill or topic, and

work explores engineering ethics empirically in a “developing world” context through aframework of care ethics. Care ethics, a.k.a., the ethic(s) of care, is particularly suitable for the“developing world” context because it helps draw attention to imbalances of power (e.g.,inequality, differential opportunity, and limitations on autonomy) that are often neglected byother ethical frameworks. In this work, we selected one element of care ethics (responsibility)and operationalized it in several ways: the language of responsibility; notions of paternalism; andawareness of key, influencing stakeholders. These lenses were developed and refined iterativelyby employing them in case study analyses of two design project reports written by teams
