    A balanced search for a sustainable MOOC business model: "The reality is that online solutions are still underused by higher education, but we are left to wait for genuine innovation that is capable to provide alternatives in line with academic rigour, quality assurance and student needs in higher education. Students cannot be engaged by simple conversions of boring lectures into online videos that are even more boring, affected by clunky and poorly designed technological solutions and rigid platforms for discussions and 'forums'."

  • This isn’t a drill
  • you can see and feel what happens to a region when its past glories have badly faded and no new ones have emerged
  • Local people, connected to their communities, built successful schools
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are the new thing. The creations of technology titans at prestigious universities
  • Columnists such as the New York Times’s Thomas Friedman wax lyrical about the possibilities. Words such as “transformational,” “disruptive,” “radical,” “irreversible,” and “inevitable” appear
  • Why all of these disruptions?
  • Faculty resistance to MOOCs is growing.
  • If MOOCs were offered as an experiment, as an approach to be tested and evaluated and refined, that would be one thing. But MOOCs are being sold, hustled really, as the best and brightest breakthrough since the printing press.
  • Colleges strapped for cash are already cutting staff, introducing MOOCs, and hoping for the best. Once the instructors have been removed and the budgets have been trimmed, it will be difficult to return to what we could call a more relational approach to education.
  • we have long known what to do and are now suffering from the abandonment of the good methods we once pioneered and practiced.
  • The once-stable financial foundation of the nation’s education system has collapsed.
  • Two thirds of the more than one million faculty members in the nation are adjuncts
  • American students now have nearly $900 billion in outstanding student loans,
  • the “Finnish miracle”
  • Teaching jobs are more sought-after than medicine, law, business, or high-tech careers.
  • The Finnish emphasis on the “supply side” of the education experience—the recruitment, training, and support of teachers—is striking.
  • In every successful educational culture, something bigger and deeper than market efficiency or ideological assertions from government motivates those involved.

    Why are universities 'ripe for disruption'? Their mission has been undercut by (1) political demands for reform, (2) pressures to cut costs, (3) "smothering student debt loads", and (4) "mistaken priorities". The result has been the abandonment of good methods, disconnection from the community which gave it life, and the loss of central purpose. Enter the MOOC.

    "The relationship between cost, access and quality is tight and significant within the mission and the goals of institutions and governments worldwide, and is frequently referred to as the 'iron triangle'; … innovations need to revise not only the learning processes, but also the underlying business models, in order to break the iron triangle."
