    Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs, have become a global phenomenon. Tens of thousands of people have enrolled into free online courses provided by some of the world's most prestigious universities. As they are such a recent creation, discussion about the value and the operation of MOOCs has been predominately in the general media and academic blogosphere. Many of those who have been pontificating about the good (or evil) of MOOCs have been doing so without having experienced one as a participant or organiser. This paper investigates the views of academics who participated as students in a MOOC. A survey and follow up focus group of academics are used to discuss the pedagogical design and also the broader implications that MOOCs have for the tertiary education sector.
