Why deMOOCification won't work - 0 views

Mathieu Plourde on 04 Jun 13"As much as I don't want to say this, I don't think there's a chance in hell that MOOCs will die on their own. I can't think of any trend which saved large institutitions money and trouble, then died a natural death. And faculty can't defend against them - we have been made powerless very slowly, over a long period of administrative takeover and public apathy (or even antipathy in our new era of anti-intellectualism). What happened at SJSU and Amherst is the exception - an exception I applaud, but an exception. The public perceives faculty objections to MOOCs as an issue of job security rather than quality."
