This MOOC-i-fi-cation of our book is made possible by Purdue University’s partnership with UK MOOC provider, FutureLearn. Campus instructional designers and video producers, and other resources in the UK and on campus, all came to the fore to create the MOOC. We look forward to more MOOC-making based on Purdue titles in the New Year.
