On 15 May 2014, Edge Hill University will host a conference on The Digital University: MOOCs and the Humanities. Organised by Dr Ben Brabon – convenor of the UK’s first undergraduate credit-bearing MOOC – the conference aims to explore the relationship between MOOCs and the Humanities in order to better understand the idea of the Digital University in the twenty-first century. In particular, the conference will ask what do MOOCs mean for the Humanities and what types of opportunities and challenges do they raise?
