HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: India Loves MOOCs: In a country of rigid teaching styles and scarce university slots, students and professors are exploring what online learning can be. “Goyal set out to sharpen his résumé. In early 2014, he enrolled in three online data-science classes via Coursera, all taught by Johns Hopkins professors. By earning certificates from the courses, demonstrating expertise in areas such as the programming tool R, Goyal impressed Dunnhumby, one of Britain’s largest customer-analytics companies. He now works there as a Delhi-based senior analyst, using data to figure out what British shoppers want next. Throughout India, online education is gaining favor as a career accelerator, particularly in technical fields.”
