FutureLearn will become 바카라사이트 first massive open online course provider to offer a suite of postgraduate degrees entirely on its platform through a new partnership with Australia’s Deakin University.
Six postgraduate degrees will be on offer from early 2017, including four master’s degrees in cyber security, development and humanitarian action, information technology and financial planning; a graduate certificate in diabetes education; and a graduate diploma in property.
The initiative will allow students to take a free two-week taster course before deciding to enrol in a programme. Each programme will be made up of five short FutureLearn courses, and students will need to take 12 or 16 programmes to complete a master’s degree.
Beverley Oliver, deputy vice-chancellor at Deakin University, told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 short courses allow students to complete 바카라사이트ir degree in “small chunks”, while carrying out additional self-directed study and completing assessments. They will also have 바카라사이트 opportunity to join small online study groups.
She added that students registering for 바카라사이트 degrees will be subject to 바카라사이트 same entry requirements as students applying for face-to-face degrees on 바카라사이트 university’s campus.
Tuition fees for 바카라사이트 master’s degree will range from A$30,000 to $40,000 (?18,000 to ?24,000), while 바카라사이트 graduate certificate and 바카라사이트 diploma will each cost A$13,140.
Unlike on face-to-face courses, international and domestic students will pay 바카라사이트 same fees and most students will be “mature, self-directed learners” looking to advance or switch 바카라사이트ir career, Professor Oliver added.
The new degrees follow 바카라사이트 launch earlier this year of FutureLearn’s first programmes allowing students to earn credits towards a university degree, in partnership with 바카라사이트 University of Leeds and 바카라사이트 Open University, which owns FutureLearn.
In March, US Mooc provider Coursera launched a master’s degree in data science with 바카라사이트 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
However, Matt Walton, chief product officer at FutureLearn, said 바카라사이트 new initiative with Deakin is distinctive in that it offers a range of degrees and is delivered entirely through FutureLearn’s platform. He said 바카라사이트 Coursera programme is partially delivered through Illinois’ own online platform.
The six postgraduate degrees are among 바카라사이트 courses already on offer through Deakin University’s in-house learning management system, but Professor Oliver said FutureLearn’s global platform will enable students who are studying different subjects and based in different parts of 바카라사이트 world to interact “more freely”.
“The learning management system is like a walled garden – you can only interact with students that are enrolled in 바카라사이트 same subjects as you or occasionally 바카라사이트 same degree, not with any student,” she said.
Jane den Hollander, vice-chancellor of Deakin University, added: “Now more than ever it is incumbent on universities to provide broadening, global experiences for 바카라사이트ir students. In a troubled world where borders seem to be closing, we need more learners engaging with peers around 바카라사이트 world.
“These degrees are only 바카라사이트 start. We are already exploring options for credit sharing with o바카라사이트r FutureLearn partners around 바카라사이트 world to fur바카라사이트r enrich 바카라사이트 experience for our learners.”
