It’s not quite a MOOC. Nevertheless, the University of Oxford’s Institute of New Economic Thinking is putting together a course on foundations of economics to be taught across five campuses starting from September. What makes it MOOC-like is that students from universities in countries as far apart as Brazil, India and the UK will study in parallel, and will have common access to a wide array of dedicated online resources. In Myanmar, one or two faculty members from Yangon’s Institute of Economics (and possibly also the economics department at Mandalay University) will be trained to teach the course, thereby enabling UY and MU undergraduates to take it alongside their global peers from December onwards.
