Teachers Teaching Online (TTO) is a free and open course created and hosted by Jason R. Levine (also known as Fluency MC).

This is the provocative motion of this year’s ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN debate. The much-imitated event is a perennial favorite at the Conference; year after year, its mixture of incisive analysis, provocative statesmanship, audience participation and good plain fun make it one of the biggest crowd-pullers. by Alasdair MacKinnon

MOOCs—massive open online courses—have shaken up the higher education world in the past few years. Now it’s time to see how they will impact corporate training.
