Edgewood College Adds MOOC

by Brian Lee

Edgewood College has entered the world of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), offering one on business ethics, the school announced Monday.

Professor Denis Collins will teach the $49 course that covers how to create and manage a code of ethics, ethical decision-making, ethics training, employee empowerment, environmental management and corporate citizenship.

“My mission with this project is to help as many managers as possible create high integrity organizations,” Collins said in a statement. “The MOOC teaches managers, business leaders and corporate trainers how to design ethical organizations. The series is based upon the 90 ‘best practices’ in Business Ethics for managing an organization.”

Udemy is managing the MOOC.

The University of Wisconsin began offering MOOCs in October.
