The National University of Singapore will be the first university
in Singapore to offer free online courses in partnership with
Coursera, a leading massive open online course website.
For a start it will offer two courses - "Unpredictable? Randomness,
Chance and Free Will" and "Write Like Mozart: An Introduction to
Classical Music Composition".
Both will start in January next year, and will run for eight and
six weeks respectively. Each session will last one and a half
hours, NUS said on Thursday.
The courses will be taught by Professor Valerio Scarani from the
Centre for Quantum Technologies and Associate Professor Peter Ivan
Edwards from Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music.
