MOOC! Sounds like this amplifier is going off again. Fresh of its recent showcase games that will be available on its platform, Amplify announced last week that it will kick off a high school MOOC on AP Computer Science. According to the company, the free, two-semester course will begin in August and "is the equivalent of an introductory college level class...[that] will teach Java and cover the AP Java Subset as defined by the College Board." There's also a "MOOC Local" program available for schools where the company will provide additional content, resources and online training for coaches who will oversee students during the course. This program's priced at $200 per student per year, but the company is currently offering a free one-year trial.
