Changing the conversation about MOOCs from WCET Frontiers

It’s Time to Redirect the Conversation about MOOCs « WCET Frontiers

Excellent special post from David Cillay, Vice President, Washington State University on the WCET blog.

Massive aspect of online education can be likened to "going to the local pond and throwing breadcrumbs on the water for the ducks. It’s really not a solution to feeding the ducks, but a few of the more aggressive ducks get a nice treat.”

He concludes with a message that should resonate well with all of us at UMUC...
"I think it is time for those of us that have been leaders in “traditional” online education to wrestle the microphone away from the for-profits and latecomers—and begin to lead once again." 

Indeed...

​enjoy!
