Students will learn how the universe was formed, and has evolved, as the researchers present the scientific and technological challenges they face in the study of the infinitely small and the infinitely large. 19 “world-class” physicists have developed the first MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) from new institution Université Paris-Saclay . The course is designed to explore the universe at its most extreme scales; from particles to stars. Université Paris-Saclay , was established by one of France ’s biggest names in science, engineering, business and humanities, and includes the French National Centre for Scientific Research and top-ranked engineering school École Polytechnique . Course coordinator and physicist, École Polytechnique , said: “ More than 70 physicists working on one MOOC is unusual – coordinating them is tough – but this is More than 70 of the first times that we’ve had a common project under the name of the new university…”
