SUMMARY:The Impact of MOOC Methodology on the Scalability, Accessibility a
 nd Development of HPC Education and Training
DESCRIPTION:Julia Mullen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Weronika
  Filinger (University of Edinburgh), Lauren Milechin (Massachusetts Instit
 ute of Technology), and David Henty (University of Edinburgh)\n\nThis work
  explores the applicability of Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for s
 caling High Performance Computing (HPC) training and education.  Most HPC 
 centers recognize the need to provide their users with HPC training; howev
 er, the current educational structure and accessibility prevents many scie
 ntists and engineers needing HPC knowledge and skills from becoming HPC pr
 actitioners.  To provide more accessible and scalable learning paths towar
 d HPC expertise, the authors explore MOOCs and their related technologies 
 and teaching approaches.  In this paper the authors outline how MOOC cours
 es differ from face-to-face training, video-capturing of live events, webi
 nars, and other established teaching methods with respect to pedagogical d
 esign, development issues and deployment concerns.  The work proceeds to e
 xplore two MOOC case studies, including the design decisions, pedagogy and
  delivery.  The MOOC development methods discussed are universal and easil
 y replicated by educators and trainers in any field; however, HPC has spec
 ific technical needs and concerns not encountered in other online courses.
   Strategies for addressing these HPC concerns are discussed throughout th
 e work.\n\nTag: Education, Scientific Computing, Training, Scalable and Su
