In one of the most rapid adoptions of an educational innovation in
history, the rise of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) has
become a significant opportunity for millions of students from all
over the world to receive quality education over the internet at no
cost. At the same time it has become a source of great optimism as
well as foreboding for educational professionals. The game changing
potential of this innovation could change the form and system of
higher education. The frustration of students who are racking up
unprecedented amounts of debt for their educations is nearing a
tipping point. If students can earn college credits and even
degrees at no cost, the number of tuition paying students at
traditional educational institutions could fall dramatically. With
ever increasing levels of quality and access, MOOCs are causing us
to rethink the educational system, the role of the educator and
student, and the role of education in society. What the post-MOOC
educational landscape will look like depends upon the choices we
make today, choices which must be made through careful
consideration. Massively Open is an overview of the implications of
this potentially disruptive innovation.
