Ireland’s IT Sligo first MOOC will be launched in September

IT Sligo (Ireland) will launch in September 2013 its first MOOC (Massive Open Online Course).  It will be a free six-week online course in Lean Sigma Quality.
Lean Six Sigma has been around for more than two decades, and since then it has been embraced by leading global companies in the manufacturing and service industries. It has become the foremost process improvement approach for organisations that wish to attain world class performance in quality and customer satisfaction. The tools and techniques are now expanding to the healthcare and government sectors where benefits have been achieved in productivity, efficiency and elimination of ‘waste’. Taught by Brian Coll and John Donovan, the course will use the same technology as IT Sligo’s existing award winning online courses. This first MOOC will consist of a series of 6 weekly lectures as well as extra learning resources that can be accessed online at any time. Read more...
