Fiona Harvey's curator insight,

Whilst I agree that watching videos and taking quizzes is a backward step for education, Coursera MOOCs (and EdX) have been developed so that the courses are improved through the analytics that are gained as the students participate. I don't think MOOCs save money, they are reputation raising, and highlight how classes are delivered within the institutions. Any MOOC that offers watching videos without interaction, or any formative assessment is probably doing a disservice to their institution.
We should learn to learn about online education as a viable alternative (done properly). Then MOOCs will be good for on campus students

An interesting take on the threat to the traditional model from MOOCs. |
A great 'student voice' video showing the real impact and reach of MOOCs for higher education.
