These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for Coursera. Coursera offers massive open online courses and thus challenges the current business models of most universities. It offers these online courses to its students and to the students of other universities. By using courses that have been developed by universities and other organizations and by offering these courses to thousands if not millions of potential customers, Coursera has much lower costs per course and per student than do conventional universities. These slides analyze the challenges for Coursera and the potential solutions in the form of customer selection, value proposition, and method of value capture.

Adventures in Designing a MOOC with OER--STEMTech Denver, CO Nov. 2014cccschamp
This presentation was part of a session on creating a Technical Math MOOC with open educational resources. In October 2013, Colorado Community College System was awarded a TAACCCT 3 grant for Advanced Manufacturing. Our Advanced Manufacturing Industry partners were actively engaged in helping our faculty tailor their courses and course content to industry needs. Yet, the industry partners still had some complaints: I would like to send my employees to your colleges for courses, certificates and training but you want them to take and pass a technical math course before they can complete a course or certificate; my employees or I can’t afford the time and money to have them pass through the “gate keeping course.” Attendees will hear on how the CCCS system created a viable solution, a free Technical Math MOOC that works for faculty, industry and our students.
