Some observations and “points to ponder”

moocs4all.eu

The cost of MOOCs

• Survey of 27 UK universities– €40,485 average

• What about small target audiences?– Specialised topics– Minority languages– Changing technologies

• Unsupported teachers– Talent and ideas

Why do universities spend so much on MOOCs?

• Quality of Learning?• Reputation?

Is the Coursera xMOOC pedagogy sophisticated?

Do people learn?

“I got exactly what I wanted from it and more….. a most enjoyable and educational course”

If an online course is good enough for 30 students,

is it good enough for 3000 students?

Are high production values required?
