In January of 2015, through funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in partnership with IREX, the University of Washington’s TASCHA program (Technology & Social Change Group), and CourseTalk, the Advancing MOOCs for Development Initiative (AMDI) was launched. The goals of the Initiative were threefold: (1) Collect data on the use of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in developing countries to better understand their potential for improving employment opportunities; (2) Raise awareness of MOOCs among policy makers, employers, and the general public; and (3) Determine factors that could lead to increased MOOC usage and higher completion rates of online courses.
