    Siemens' image of the drop off in participation misses the point. The completers were there all along. Start a mooc with a community fo completers and it doesn't have to ve so large. How? Start with an existing community or "horrors" charge a small one-time fee like Metafilter.

  • The missing piece is a caveat in Coursera’s terms of service that prohibits the use of Coursera’s MOOCs for anything but informal education.
  • “You may not take any Online Course offered by Coursera,” stipulate the terms, “or use any Letter of Completion as part of any tuition-based or for-credit certification or program for any college, university, or other academic institution without the express written permission from Coursera.”
  • The nonprofit MOOC provider, edX, has made "openness" a major part of its PR message, often to position itself as the more collaborative and less money-oriented player in the market. But edX's terms of service also place limits on the extent to which outsiders can avail themselves of edX content. "Unless otherwise expressly stated on the Site, the texts, exams, video, images and other instructional materials provided with the courses offered on this Site are for your personal use in connection with those courses only," read the site's legal notice.

  • In any case, the same pool of chief academic officers was largely confident that OER had the potential to save their institutions money -- 65 percent said it could.
  • That sort of faith is unusual for a relatively new type of academic resource, especially one with such an ambiguous definition, said Seaman.

      Nice run down of the potential, definitely potential, business model for xMOOCs from large universities. Image promotion worth the cost? Will others be forced to compete in this way?
