Abstract

This paper describes a pair of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) hosted by EdX accompanying the authors’ new Digital Design and Computer Architecture RISC-V Edition textbook. A MOOC has the potential to make high-quality education widely available to diverse audiences. However, we find that developing a MOOC requires a tremendous amount of time, that our students prefer face-to-face learning, and that the walled-garden nature of current MOOCs is a deterrent to external audiences.
