Swiss Universities Offer MOOCs

(Rectors' Conference of Swiss Universities, July 10, 2013)

EPFL is leading the way for Swiss universities to offer Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which are courses taught interactively to very large audiences via the Internet. Other Swiss universities are considering providing similar offerings, but some are more hesitant than others. One benefit of these courses is that they bring education to people who haven't had access before, especially in developing countries, but many students use the courses for continuing education. EPFL MOOCs are available in both English and French, broadening their appeal to speakers of either language.
