There are many unkonowns and wrong...Thanks Alastair<br />There are many unkonowns and wrong knowns about MOOCs. First today<br />Coursera Udacity edx are known as MOOCs .<br />Coursera and Udacity say they are MOOCs and they are for profits , they do not say " they provide the same courses as the ones on campus ." That is really bad . They also say they do not have a business plan yet . <br />They also do not say about a certificate , how it will be delivered by whom etc .<br /><br />But they are genius in marketing . <br />They have convinced that ANTIOCH University will take DUKE and UPenn online courses and ANTIOCH will give credits toward its degree programs . It is really great accomplishment.<br />That is the first to be applied in the USA. <br /><br />I got the hint :<br />If all schools in the USA take 5 online courses from MOOCs then their tuition will be halved . Plus there would be room for another 4,000 students ( I assume it has already 4,000 students ) Now total enrollment is 8,000 .<br />But I say these online courses must be the same as oncampus courses . Plus Coursera should not charge more than $ 10 per course per student.<br />Let me tell you <br />if an online class is taken by 100,000 students per semester then cost is $ 1 <br />if taken by 10,000 students per semester then cost is $ 100 .<br />So secret here is enrollment .<br />How you can increase enrollment <br />Just let all colleges in the USA take 5 online courses from MOOCs . Then millions enrollment and tuitions go down .<br /><br />I SAY EVEN ELITE UNIVERSITIES SHOULD NOT DELIVER ONLINE COURSES NOT SAME AS ONCAMPUS COURSES .<br />Other wise it is cheating of people .<br /><br />We need many articles to be written about MOOCs and MITx + Harvardx + Berkeleyx Model too .<br />in order to inform people Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454067643125288337noreply@blogger.com
