Coursera “learning hubs” in foreign countries

Coursera Teams Up with State Department to Expand MOOC Footprint | Via Meadia:
 "In partnership with the State Department’s “MOOC Camp Initiative,” Coursera, the online education purveyor, is planning to open a number of “learning hubs” in foreign countries, where students can come to take free online courses that would include classroom discussions taught by locally based foreign service officers or Fulbright scholars.

The program is designed to overcome one of the most problematic issues facing the spread of MOOCs in the developing world: the lack of internet access. "
