Great article, thanks for sharing. I also agree with most of this. Having participated in a MOOC, I don't think this form of learning will takeover. I think there are a couple of very good quotes here that we should include in our white paper e.g., "A reputation for innovative teaching will be invaluable in the fight for domestic and international student dollars." and "Incentives at all our universities are based on research output, so academics have little incentive to embrace educational reform. The universities that succeed in transforming education will not be those that work on a top down approach. That cannot work. Rather, it is the universities that develop the incentives and motivation for "bottom up" academic-led reform who will be tomorrow's leaders in tertiary education."
