Results
The MOOC was very successful with over 4000 participants registered and a completion rate of more than 11%.
The course used a combination of lecture videos and assignments created by our renowned team of instructors as well as case studies by media parters across the region. These were delivered to students online every week.
The MOOC also featured a bonus project that participants could do to really apply the skills learnt in the course. The best three projects were showcased at our community event held at the Google Hong Kong office in July 2016.
