MOOCs: 'dropout' a category mistake, look at 'uptake'? - 5 views

What's the "problem" with MOOCs? - 5 views

  •  
    "In case the quotes didn't clue you in, this post doesn't argue against massive open online courses (MOOCs) such as the ones offered by Udacity, Coursera, and edX.

I do however agree with some criticisms of these courses, and that there is room for much more progress."

College or No? Stuck Between Present Realities and Future Promises | MindShift - 1 views

    "Higher education options are changing for all students - not only for gutsy school reformers and tech enthusiasts dropping out with hopes to become the next Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg. As MOOCs proliferate and college costs keep rising, more young reformers and "edupreneurs" are looking for a way around a four-year degree, some opting for a gap year to work on personal passions they hope will take off, and some looking for meaningful work experience in the world's classroom."
