More than 30,500 people from 70 countries have signed up so far for the Massive Open Online Course Journalism Professor David Carlson has been working on. “Music’s Big Bang: The Genesis of Rock ‘n’ Roll” will debut March 13, 2014 on Coursera.org.

Carlson’s class builds on the foundation Bill McKeen created more than a decade ago with “Rock ‘n’ Roll and American Society.” However, Carlson’s class concentrates more on the pre-history of rock ‘n’ roll. It was developed in cooperation with UF’s Distant and Continuing Education department.

The class is free and open to the public at https://coursera.org/course/musicsbigbang.
