Maggie Verster on 07 Oct 16"An evolution on the idea of MOOCs is the "selectively open online course" (or SOOC) - simply, a MOOC with an entrance requirement designed to reduce the "unwanted diversity." This could be proven competency (e.g., pass an entrance quiz), a credential (e.g., have a degree), or membership (e.g., be in the university's alumni network). The theory is that a more uniform student body will lead to improved peer-to-peer collaboration and higher learner outcomes."
