Khan/ Koller Review

• Salman Khan:
• When I visited his site, I envisioned using myself about something. I learn how to do and get ideas by video on the internet. I think I am more similar with him when I improve my study skill. I am a visual person. It is really helpful. The videos are easy to follow and learn step by step. It shows me how to solve the problems and complete it. When they can't understand or can't do the homework, they can look for some sites, they will explain what they don't know. This site of credentialing is interesting. I am sure this style of education makes learning more accessible to all people. Learning by online is helpful to people, it provides more convenient.

• Daphane Koller:
• When I explore the Coursera offerings, the course looks most interesting to me in Computer Science and offer credit and degree. Unfortunately, Columbus State doesn't accept Coursera transfer credits but as Ohio States does. I think Coursera courses appear to be more challenging as many or more interesting. It looks like more interesting to meet lots of people from around the world. MOOCs have received significant coverage in the higher education. It suggests that MOOCs will make high quality education more accessible and decrease the substantial costs of higher education. The MOOCs represents a more personalized form of automated instruction which provided to students using systems.
