“Education is changing. Often people want to consume information that’s micro-targeted at their very specific interest, and they want to have access to that information whenever they want, wherever they want, and using whatever device of their choosing,” said Jordan Cox, senior VP, academic program, PTC.

“In addition, various customers tell us they depend on a workforce that’s trained on new product development technology. PTC developed the IoT series of MOOCs aiming to offer a different kind of educational pathway to address these challenges. Early registration numbers have far exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to launching more MOOCs in the near future.”
